Spots on my labia majora

[robdandod]

I have had blood blister type spots on my labia majora for years.  Approximately 12 to 15 years. They have never bothered me except for the number of them, and that's just because it looks weird.  I have between 20 to 30 of them.  Recently they have started turning hard and painful. The only thing I've found to stop the pain is to open them up.  Once I get it opened enough I can get a hard blood clot looking thing out.  After that it bleeds for a solid 30 to 45 minutes.  Should I go see a doctor about these? And if yes, what kind? Gynecologist or dermatologist?

Hi robdandod,

I just read your comments. I think it would be a good idea to follow the advice of Bhupinder Kaur, MD. I agree with her advice to see a dermatologist. Most dermatologist like to have a referral for your family
doctor. Atleast my dermatologist prefers this. Good luck. Don't pick at
these blood blister type spots. It could be dangerous, especially as you
say when you do pick them open they bleed profusely. Have a dermatologist look at them and figure out what they are. Good luck, Eve :)

Hello,
You should get these blister like spots evaluated for warts, blood blisters or benign skin growths from a dermatologist as these have started bleeding and turning painful. Treatment will depend on the confirmation of diagnosis.

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.
