Probably it's just a pimple. Genital warts don't look at all like pimples. However, 50% of sexually active people your age test positive for HPV, so these two problems likely are unrelated. You probably had a Pap smear previously, when tested for HPV: that's the only situation in which women normally are tested for HPV. If in doubt about any of this, discuss with your doctor.

Agree with Dr. Handsfield. If are not vaccinated for HPV, get vaccinated to prevent infection. Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines Wish you good health
