What could be the possible cause of bumps on the inside of labia ?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have bumps on the inside of my labia which are not blistering, itchy, or sore. I guess it is folliculitis. Please help.

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Afifa Reyaz

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. Probably you are suffering from folliculitis. The reason for it could be frequent shaving of the vaginal area. To be safer, talk to your partner about any STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) and have protected intercourse.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Regards.

The Probable causes

It could be due to frequent shaving.

Investigations to be done

I would suggest that there is no investigation required at present.

Probable diagnosis

Folliculitis.

Treatment plan

I would suggest you clean the area with an antiseptic soap and warm water regularly and avoid shaving frequently.

Regarding follow up

Follow up again if symptoms of itching, redness or any vaginal discharge appears.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor for the reply,

Is there any cream that I can use? It is on the smooth part which does not have hair or cannot be shaved. I am a little confused as to why it started. Please help.

Answered by Dr. Afifa Reyaz

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. They are harmless, which could be due to friction. They will go away on their own. I would suggest you not to apply anything, to keep the area dry, and wear clean cotton underwear.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
