![]() However, they appear in the later stages of infection, with earlier symptoms being flu, fever, large sores and pain in the genitals and legs, making the infection hard to detect. Itchy and tingling multiple red bumps-that later develop into painful pimples or blisters-and ulcers on or around the vagina and vulva indicate this common Sexually Transmitted Disease, which is caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus. Although recurrent, it can be treated with ointments or corticosteroid creams. Other common symptoms include severe itching and pain while urinating or having sex. ![]() Usually confined to menopausal women, this skin condition is characterized by blood-filled or blood less blisters that can bleed or cause bruising and white spots that turn into patches of thin, wrinkled skin over time around the vulva and anus. If found in non-pregnant women, they can be surgically removed via freezing, excision (cutting out) or shaving off. Typically painless, varicosities may feel heavy, bleed or cause itching and are most common in menopausal or pregnant women-where treatment is not required as they usually disappear 6 weeks after childbirth. They occur as bluish raised bumps or round, swollen veins around the vulva. ![]() ![]() Common in 80-95% adults, they first appear during puberty and increase with age. Painless and harmless, these small, white or yellow-white bumps are actually visible sebaceous glands (found inside hair follicles) and can be found inside the vulva, or on the lips or cheeks. Do not worry, and treat as directed above. Some may also observe white-headed pimples (usually a sign of pus) on their vulva at the start of their period. If they remain after 2 weeks or grow bigger, prescription antibiotics and surgical draining may be required. Thoroughly clean the skin before and after waxing or shaving and avoid the above-mentioned irritants to prevent ingrown pubic hair. While not a cause for concern, trying to remove them yourself can result in inflammation and infection. Other possible causes include fragrant soaps, feminine hygiene products, talcum powder, detergents, etc. Improperly removed pubic hair can curl below the skin’s surface-known as ingrown hair-and form small, usually pus-filled bumps, with dark surrounding skin. ![]() If they grow too big and unsightly, you can also consider surgical removal via laser or electrosurgery-although it might cause scarring. It is wise to avoid popping or self-removal, which can damage the surrounding skin. benign (non-cancerous) growths-known as Syringoma-are the result of blocked sweat ducts and can also form on the face, underarms, chest and belly-button region, in addition to the vaginal walls. In rare cases, surgical drainage or removal might be required. Cysts, on the other hand, are firm and painless pea-sized vaginal lumps which are usually present on the walls of the vagina (a muscular tube that leads to the opening of your uterus, or cervix), that may form after childbirth or a vaginal injury. However, the cyst may require surgical draining in case of extreme pain, fever and chills or difficulty in walking. Warm compresses, soaking in warm water or over the counter pain-killers can help manage the pain. Vulvar Cysts are tender, hard and painful bumps that vary in size-usually near the vaginal opening-and are formed due to a blockage of certain glands in the vulva (the visible parts of the female genital system). ![]()
