I have skin tag-like bumps on my vagina. What are they?

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

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have noticed that my left inner labia are swollen and a little itchy. I thought that the itch comes and goes and it is definitely not a constant one. I have no unusual discharge and it does not burn or pain when I pee. I noticed that there is a tiny smooth skin tag-like bump on the labia that is swollen. I am aware that skin tags do not occur in moist areas, but it is most definitely does not resemble a wart. I have a gynecologist appointment in a day. But, I am a little concerned at the minute.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The presence of local swelling and itchiness over one side labia minora alone, indicates an element of inflammation. The presence of skin tag bump, which is swollen, is unlikely to be a vaginal wart, as warts are not acutely occurring lesions. This could be a folliculitis lesion, but the conclusive opinion can only be offered after viewing the lesion. It is hence requested that you may attach a picture of lesion for a better opinion and diagnosis.

Hi doctor,

I have attached two pictures of the lesion.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

This is vestibulitis, which is often caused by local infection and blockage of the vestibular glandular opening leading to swelling and redness. The bump is the swollen vestibular gland and this shall require a course of antibiotics for a week to allow its subsidence. Avoid any local friction by wearing loose undergarments and try avoiding scratching locally. Keep the local area as dry as possible. A visit to a gynecologist shall be needed for local examination and further prescription of medicines. Take care.
