Bumps on Outer Lip of Vagina

Bumps on Outer Lip of Vagina

For a couple of years now, I've had small red bumps on one side of my vagina. They don't change and they don't hurt at all. Sometimes they itch a little, but that's it. I've never seen a doctor about them since they aren't causing much discomfort. I've never had sex or been sexually active at all. Should I be worried about this?

Hello,
These small bumps on the vagina can be due to folliculitis skin. Keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing
