How Can Perineum Lumps Be Treated?

hi am a 21 yr old female. about 2 weeks ago i realized in the shower that i had 2 very tiny bumps on my perineum. i often get cuts in that area from wiping too hard after defecating. the bumps are together almost in a line. they cannot be popped. they do not hurt at all. i only notice them in the shower. i look online and all i see is genital warts which makes me confused. ive had the same partner for 2 years. we both get regular check ups. i have had the gardasil shot at 12yrs. i made an appointment to c obgyn next week, but its on my mind bothering me.

these are possibly small epidermal inclusion cysts that arise from small skin injuries.

other possibility is fibroepithelial polyp.

the only need to worry that these could easily be infected so do not rub and keep hygienic!

all the best!
