open sores inside labia
I am not sexually active at all but lately i have noticed open sores on the inside of my labia. I have been sick for a few days and didnt shower so that may be the cause but im not sure. One place is swollen and has two smaller cuts and one large sore. Another place has.five small sores. They itch and burn when i pee and when im just doing normal activities. Im embarresed to tell my mom but mabye i should? Im not sure but they look gross and i get disgusted even thinking about them. Please answer me with some thoughts and hopefully they are helpful. Also if you have any ways to treat them thatd be great! Thanks

Hello,
It can be due to boils. For such boils, you should keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also 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 get an evaluation done from a dermatologist and get cysts and herpes sores ruled out.
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.
