Help!!!
ABout a month-and-a-half ago I used apple cider vinegar to get rid of small genital warts at the opening of my vagina, the skin became very raw and painful, I assumed I burnt my skin from applying the apple cider vinegar there over night. This has healed, however now I have recurring pimple-like bumps appearing around my vagina and near my anus. They are not warts, they seem to have gone.They are large and itchy and sore. Also, the skin becomes flaky and peels off. I have been using hydrogen peroxide and tea tree oil to clean the area, this helps and they go away but then they come back or more will appear. Pllleeeeeaaaasssseeeeee help, anybody??

Thank you for your reply! I saw a doctor today and she said i had a staph infection likely caused by the burn fro mthe apple cider vinegar. EEwww. Strong antibiotics and washing with clearasil cleanser was the prescription. Hopefully it clears it. IT is certainly a nasty place to have a skin infection!!! *siiiigghhhh*
Hi,
Nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions. This could be folliculitis or molluscum contagiosum, warts, pimple, acne or fordyce spots.
MC can affect any area of the skin but is most common on the body, arms, and legs. It is spread through direct contact or shared items such as clothing or towels.
In adults, molluscum infections are often sexually transmitted and usually affect the genitals, lower abdomen, buttocks, and inner thighs. In rare cases, infections are also found on the lips, mouth, and eyelids.
The virus can spread through contact with contaminated objects, such as towels, clothing, or toys.
In people with normal immune systems, the disorder usually goes away on its own over a period of months to years.
Individual lesions may be removed surgically, by scraping, de-coring, freezing, or through needle electrosurgery. Surgical removal of individual lesions may result in scarring. Medications, such as those used to remove warts, may be helpful in removal of lesions, but can cause blistering that leads to temporary skin discoloration.
Avoid direct contact with the skin lesions. Do not share towels with other people.
A visit to your doctor will help confirm the diagnosis. Self medication should be avoided.
Let us know if you need any other information.
