Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The bumps after a yeast infection could be due the inflammed glands near the labia minora.

Such presentation is very common and the treatment involves the treating of the yeast infection.

Though it may take few days after the infection has gone completely but do not complicate into anything serious.

Getting examined by the gynecologist is always a best option here, I would say she can wait till she is comfortable to show to the doctor.

Wish you good health.

Regards,
