Next, this article will introduce to you what the small bumps on the labia are. Friends who want to know more about the relevant knowledge can take a look! Please see the detailed introduction below.

What are the small bumps on the labia? Small bumps on the labia are commonly caused by genital warts or pseudo-warts. These two diseases are more likely to occur. One is caused by human papillomavirus infection, which is a type of sexually transmitted disease; the other is caused by vaginal inflammation, which manifests as velvety or villous protrusions on the inner side of the labia minora, which may be pink or slightly transparent, roe-like, and relatively uniform in size, with no subjective symptoms. Women with excessive vaginal discharge are generally prone to this condition.

Common causes of pimples on the labia majora include:

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.

The above is an introduction to what causes small bumps on the labia. From the above introduction, we can know that there are many reasons for the growth of small bumps on the labia, mainly caused by pseudo-condyloma acuminatum, female condyloma acuminatum and genital herpes. Therefore, when small bumps are found on the labia, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the disease.
