Red bumps on the vulva

If there are some small bumps on a woman's private parts, she should understand the specific reasons and symptoms. Generally speaking, this situation is often related to some inflammation. For example, the most common one is vaginitis. There are many causes of vaginitis, and there are many symptoms of vaginitis. Of course, it may also be related to some skin diseases. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Red bumps on the vulva

1. Pseudo-warmth warts

The pimples on women's vulva may be pseudo-warm warts, which mainly occur in healthy, young women, and many of them are unmarried. The details are as follows:

① Location: Occurs on the inner side of the labia minora and the vestibule on both sides.

②Appearance: Looks like many small fish roe-like particles, or velvety, etc.

③Number: multiple.

④Changes: These small bumps will not grow bigger.

⑤Symptoms: None.

Then it is most likely pseudo-warmth of the vulva.

2. Sebaceous gland ectopic disease

It occurs in young people, and those under 30 years old account for 75% of the total number of cases. The details are as follows:

① Location: Mostly occurs on the labial mucosa and cheek mucosa, but also occurs on the areola, glans penis, labia minora, clitoris, and inner side of the labia majora.

②Appearance: Pale yellow or white, millet-sized, flat and hemispherical papules, scattered or dense.

③Number: multiple.

④Change: It will not get bigger and bigger.

⑤Symptoms: No subjective symptoms.

⑥Others: When the skin or mucous membrane is stretched tight, the bumps become more obvious.

3. Bowenoid papulosis

Occurs in young and middle-aged women who are sexually active. The details are as follows:

① Location: Most are located on the perineum and labia, and a few are located on the genital mucosa.

②Appearance: They are flat, raised small bumps that are skin-colored, light brown, or brown, bean-sized or larger, with a nipple-like or smooth surface.

③Number: There can be multiple ones, or one or two.

④Changes: It may become more and bigger, but not very fast.

⑤Symptoms: No symptoms.

Ordinary people and doctors should be aware that this disease is very similar to the sexually transmitted disease genital warts, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease and has nothing to do with sexual contact. Of course, if the patient has a history of sexual contact, it can be confusing. After diagnosis, local physical therapy should be used, such as laser, freezing, electrocautery, etc.

4. Vestibular gland cyst

Small bumps on the vulva may be Bartholin's gland cysts. The exit of the Bartholin's gland is located on the inner side of the labia minora, making it easy for bacteria to invade and cause inflammation.

Generally, bacteria first invade the epithelium of the Bartholin's gland ducts, causing the mucosa to swell, or the uterine adhesions occur after the tissue at the opening of the duct is destroyed, causing the opening of the duct to be blocked, and the secretions cannot be discharged, thus forming a Bartholin's gland cyst. It is often unilateral and of varying sizes. It may also be an early manifestation of vulvar inflammation.

5. Vulvar inflammation

Another possible reason for small bumps on the vulva is vulvitis: this is caused by a large amount of leucorrhea irritating the skin in the labia area. In daily life, the vulva is easily contaminated with urine, feces, and leucorrhea, so that the vulva skin is often in a humid environment, which is suitable for bacterial growth. At this time, if the vulvar skin is abraded, or if hygiene is not paid attention to, or the body's resistance is reduced, the hair follicles and surrounding tissues will be infected by staphylococci and other bacteria, which will cause local vulvitis.
