Are these genital warts?

I'm so scared. I've been with my partner for 4 years. I've only slept with him in this time. I had a couple of partners before him but these have only just shown up now.
I'm not sure if it's an allergic reaction to a new fake tan i've been using? Or just a general rash from wearing too tight jeans or underwear?
Theyre so itchy :(

Looks like a rash to me but I’m no expert

Belle89 · 20/07/2018 19:29

Are they raised?

aperolspritzplease · 20/07/2018 19:29

Is that your leg crease? I don't think genital warts would be there.

moreismore · 20/07/2018 19:30

I would also say rash but am not medic.

Try taken an antihistamine and putting non some itch-relief cream/mild steroid like hydrocortisone.

You’ll soon know as if it clears in a day or two it wasn’t warts

AnnaStudy · 20/07/2018 19:31

I'm really struggling to explain them,
They don't feel raised. When i stroke my leg it just feels smooth! It feels like a burn😣
I just got worried because Dr Google kept bringing up HPV

Thanks everybody! Probably just me being my usual anxious self! I've been putting cream on it so hopefully it'll clear up in the next few days!

I would say no. GW look more like cauliflower...

gonnabreakmyrustycage · 20/07/2018 19:35

Doesn’t look like warts to me, and if you have them on both sides they are most likely a rash or burn from your underwear. STDs don’t show up symmetrically. Leave it alone for a few days.

Labradoodliedoodoo · 20/07/2018 19:38

THey do look like some genital wart photos but get yourself seen

Hoovermanoevre · 20/07/2018 19:38

To me that looks like inflammation of thinned tissues along stretch marks.
Do you have stretch marks there?
The tissue under my boobs sometimes goes like this along the stretchies with irritation/ heat/ water retention etc

AnnaStudy · 20/07/2018 19:39

Sorry this forum is posted twice btw, slow internet connection!

I do have stretch marks there, quite a few white ones!

OP posts:
Hoovermanoevre · 20/07/2018 19:42

then I reckon inflamed stretch mark. It's like those weird stress balls where you push a slime ball through mesh Grin Surely I'm not the only one this happens to ! Itches like mad.

It's not genital wart warts I'm sure. Looks like heat rash/chafing from undies/ clothing etc. Take anti histamine and avoid tight/non cotton undies etc.

CrazyDaisy2018 · 20/07/2018 19:50

My heat rash looks like that and is as itchy as hell. As someone else said, try taking an antihistamine. It works for me but only the cetrizine type.

I get a small area of heat rash every year and it's location changes regularly. It started out on my feet for a few years and now I get it in the crease of my elbow and between my index and middle finger on one hand. No rhyme or reason to why only these spots but antihistamine and lightly medicated talc keep it in line for me.

User183737 · 20/07/2018 19:51

They arent warts. Definitely not.

AnnaStudy · 20/07/2018 19:52

Thanks so much everyone! Yes probably is just a rash or inflammation! Just the position of it is unfortunate 😒 hahah

Jennywren1978 · 21/07/2018 13:24

I'd say heat rash given the weather we've been having recently and perhaps exacerbated by where underwear or trousers could have rubbed the area
