Reoccuring Problem

I have a question about reoccuring blisters, pimples, or bumps whatever you want to call them.  Every month before I get my period they appear on my labia and when I burst them puss and blood comes out.  Now I had been having this problem way before any sexual contact of any kind and I have only have sexual intercouse with one person but like I said this was occuring way before that just every month before my period. It doesn't burn when I pee or any of that other stuff so what is the problem can you tell me?

You probably have one or more sebaceous cysts, or just pimples.  However, to be safe you need to get checked for herpes.  It doesn't sound like that's what you have, but it is possible.  In any case, see your doctor or other health care provider when the problem is active--i.e., when you have the bumps but before you squeeze them.

Good luck--  HHH, MD
