I have white pimples in my vagina with a burning sensation when using water. What could it be?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand it.

The white pimples could be folliculitis (inflammation of the pockets from which the hair grows) or a possible fungal infection, which could be treated with antibiotics or antifungals; it could even be a viral infection like herpes.

Please share a picture of the lesion to diagnose it better, or you may visit your gynecologist for a local examination.

Revert for further queries.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the pictures (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity).

1)These are molluscum contagiosum lesions which are contagious (transmittable) viral infections caused by the poxvirus and usually subside on their own in a week or two.

2)Often, such bumps are removed through cryocauterization (a minimally invasive treatment by freezing the tissue and destroying it) by the gynecologist or scraping off the skin, or medical treatment may also involve the use of topical Povidone-iodine (antiseptic) to aid early healing.

3)These can occur due to contact with contaminated objects like towels or can be transmitted during sexual contact.

I hope you find it helpful.

Regards.
