What are the small bumps on the female vulva?

Many women think that it must be a gynecological disease when they find small bumps on their vulva, and then go to the hospital to buy medicine without authorization. In fact, such thinking and practice are wrong, because small bumps on the vulva are mostly caused by skin infections, not necessarily gynecological diseases. If not treated properly, other diseases may occur. So, what are the small bumps on the female vulva? The following content is a detailed explanation of this issue.

Female vulvar eczema often occurs in the labia majora and inguinal cleft. The course of the disease is variable and the attacks are irregular. Patients usually do not experience obvious symptoms, but they will experience severe itching before going to bed or when they are nervous. Some itching may lead to secondary infection after scratching, resulting in local redness and small pus spots in the center of some rashes. The acute phase is mainly manifested by severe itching and diffuse redness of the vulva. The skin lesions are polymorphic without obvious boundaries.

As the disease progresses, needle-sized papules, papulovesicles or small blisters appear on the skin surface, the base becomes congested, and the boundaries of the lesions are unclear. Then the erosion, edema and exudation worsen. Scratching due to burning and severe itching can damage the epidermis, causing infection and scabs, and may be accompanied by complications such as swollen inguinal lymph nodes, fever, and general discomfort. If vulvar eczema is not treated properly, repeated attacks can prolong the course of the disease and turn it into a chronic disease.

Experts say that in the chronic stage, due to repeated scratching, a small amount of fluid will seep out of the scratched area, and the disease will be prolonged and difficult to heal. It causes infiltration and hypertrophy in the epidermis and dermis, and rough skin. There may be lichenification, clear borders, and bran-like scales on the surface. It feels hard or has moist crusts. In severe cases, cracks may occur, and there is pain during movement. The skin appears brown or depigmented due to blood crusts and pigmentation. I hope patients and friends can pay attention to this.

What are the small bumps on the female vulva? It is necessary to pay attention to the small bumps on the female vulva, but patients do not need to worry too much. As long as everyone pays attention to the appropriate hygiene in daily life and goes to a regular hospital for professional treatment when small bumps are found, the situation is not as bad as people imagine.
