Brief Answer:
The only cause may be warts

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think a painless, gray, cauliflower appearance lesion located in outer parts of vagina, is nothing to be than warts. You can send me a photo to reports to confirm diagnosis.
It is caused by a type of sexually transmitted virus called HPV.
The only sign of this low risk HPV is warts.
It can be treated with podophyllin, or trichloracetic acid applied over them.
Better if applied by doctor but you also can do it at home.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you for the feedback. I submitted a picture.
I have only been with my husband and I’m confident he hasn’t strayed so I’m not sure how I would have gotten it

Brief Answer:
Need to get tested for STD.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again dear and thank you for asking again.
I see the photo and it has a bloody sign and flat surface that is not much characteristic of warts . Anyway the acetic acid microscopy can determine better the diagnosis.
I suggest you to get tested for STD.
Warts can even be transmitted by used towls or toilet seers and this may explain your situation.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Oh that’s probably because I picked at the one. I plan to get labs done but it won’t be for a few days. Thanks for your help.

Brief Answer:
Most welcome

Detailed Answer:
Okay if you picked one, this can justify bleeding and increases the possibility of being warts.

It is not an emergency so you can wait for a few days to do the labs.

Wishing you good health.
