What do genital warts on labia minor indicate?

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

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had unprotected sex about four months ago. Recently, I discovered some bumps on my labia minora that are somewhat itchy. I believe it might be herpes or warts. It does not burn when I pee, just feel slight discomfort. I hope the picture helps.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The bumps do not typically look like warts or herpes. Vagina has a lot of glands to keep it moist, it is likely that some gland ducts got blocked and are giving you bumps.

Do not worry, they will go off gradually. Just wash the area with warm water and non perfumed gentle soap. Do not use douches, sprays, or harsh detergents to clean the area. Wash your underwears with soft detergent.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
