HPV

Hiya. I have just had my results back today and I am devastated. My anxiety is terrible. Positive but no abnormal cells told me to come back in one year. Since, I  have done a body examination & have noticed a small skin tag below. Also a little one at the bottom of my cheek on my face that I thought was a spot for weeks but it has not moved. I split with my partner just two months ago. He was quite abusive and I've had such a hard time I have had depression. I was on antibiotics also but in October I had them twice. I just fe so uneasy and upset. Xxx

  • Hello Anna220, 

    A big welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear you are feeling so anxious. There can be a lot of confusion when it comes to HPV but I hope this information I've found will help clear this up and put your mind at ease. If you'd like to talk this through with one of our nurses they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    If you are worried about this skin tag and the one at the bottom of your cheek, do give your doctor a call and mention that you have been worried about this. They will be in the best position to tell you more about it. I am so sorry to hear about your partner being abusive - I hope you are feeling a bit better and that you have been treated for your depression and are on the mend now. It sounds like you have been through a lot recently and don't hesitate to talk to your GP about how you are feeling both on a physical and emotional level. Your doctor I am sure will have some good tips for you and will be able to answer any questions you may have on all this. 

    Best wishes,
