I have a skin color growth on the outer lip of my vagina. my doctor said it was folliculitis but i am worried it maybe genital warts.

Hmmm, hard to say: Folliculitis usually looks very different from a genital wart. If the growth is more 'cauliflower-like', wth irregular skin surface, or if it doesn't go away with application of compresses or even antibiotics, then another diagnosis should be considered. A biopsy may be needed to determine definitely.
