Why do I have painful bumps on my labia minora?

The female labia is an extremely private part. Some women will have small bumps on their labia. Most people don’t know what this is. At this time, you can closely observe whether there are symptoms such as itching. It should be reminded that female friends must pay attention to the hygiene of their genitals, always keep them clean and tidy, and wear suitable underwear. The following may be the reasons for the growth of bumps on the labia.

First, it may be related to cervicitis, vulvitis and vaginitis, which may cause increased vaginal discharge and allergic dermatitis of the labia minora.

Or it may be pustulosis or folliculitis caused by infection. It is recommended that you take a sitz bath with 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution every night, and then apply erythromycin ointment, or try Bactroban treatment.

Second, it may be folliculitis or inflammation of the sebaceous glands.

Try avoiding spicy food, eating a low-fat diet, applying erythromycin ointment, and washing frequently with hot water.

Guidance:

It is recommended not to squeeze, otherwise it will easily spread the infection. You can also take some antibiotics orally.

Third, consider that the symptoms may be caused by vulvar inflammation or folliculitis.

Suggestions: I suggest you check your leucorrhea routinely, pay attention to local hygiene, change your underwear frequently, drink plenty of water, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. You can use potassium permanganate for external flushing and take levofloxacin orally for treatment. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment.

Fourth, if the area is smooth, it may be a sebaceous cyst.

It is caused by poor personal hygiene. Due to the presence of apocrine sweat glands in the pubic area, clogged hair follicles can easily cause follicular inflammation. If it is next to the labia minora, pay attention to whether it is a Bartholin's gland cyst. The Bartholin's gland opens in the groove between the labia minora and the hymen. If the gland duct opening is blocked, a cyst may form.

Suggestions: Pay attention to hygiene and clean the vulva with clean water. If it is a vulva cyst, you can wipe it with iodine. If you feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital for examination in time.

Fifth, the pimples are probably caused by acne or folliculitis.

It's nothing serious. If there is white discharge, just wash it with warm water every day.

Suggestions: It is recommended to use iodine to disinfect the pimple area or apply Bactroban topically. You can also take antibacterial drugs such as amoxicillin or azithromycin orally for treatment. Pay attention to private hygiene and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
