What is the reason behind the red bumps on the labia?

Female friends, please pay attention. When you find red bumps on your labia, you need to pay great attention. After all, this area is very sensitive. However, you should not rush to use medication indiscriminately. Instead, you should determine the cause based on your own situation and then symptomatic treatment will be effective.

1. Pseudo-condyloma. A benign papilloma disease that is not contagious. Symptoms include the appearance of smooth, pink papules on the inner side of the labia minora, which are clustered but not fused together, resembling caviar or small polyps. They sometimes itch but cause no other harm to the body. From a medical point of view, no special treatment is required for female pseudo-condyloma.

2. Female genital warts. A highly contagious sexually transmitted disease caused by the human papillomavirus. The average incubation period of female genital warts is 2-3 months, and the symptoms are local itching and pain. It usually occurs in the vulva, vagina, cervix, and perianal area, and manifests locally as small reddish or gray papules, which are wart-like protrusions. The lesions turn white after being applied with 5% acetic acid. If not treated and controlled, it will develop into fusion and form cauliflower-like growths with a foul odor. If you experience these symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately to avoid delaying the treatment.

3. Genital herpes. It is a sexually transmitted disease caused by herpes simplex virus infection. The affected parts of the vulva, such as the labia majora and minora, clitoris, mons pubis, and cervix, first have a burning sensation, followed by the random development of papules, which are like small bumps and may be in one or more clusters, followed by the formation of blisters. After a few days, it develops into a pustule, which then breaks to form an erosion or shallow ulcer. The disease can also cause more serious complications such as fever, malaise, headache, neck stiffness, meningitis and sacral nervous system dysfunction.

4. It may be folliculitis or inflammation of the sebaceous glands. Do not squeeze it otherwise it will easily cause the infection to spread.

Suggestions: It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time to find out the cause of the disease. Early detection and early treatment are the key. Pay attention to your personal hygiene.

5. Symptoms that may be acute vulvitis: First, you feel discomfort in the vulva, followed by itching and pain, or a burning sensation. At the same time, the skin and mucous membranes in the vulva may become swollen and congested to varying degrees. In severe cases, erosions, ulcers, or large areas of eczema may form, accompanied by painful urination. In addition, when folliculitis occurs in the vulva, the vulva may become severely swollen and painful due to the occurrence of abscesses, and then a furuncle may form.

Suggestions: Go to the hospital for examination in time to find out the cause of the disease. Early detection and early treatment are the key.
