Question : This morning I found a pimple on my labia so I squeezed it, and blood came out. But when I went to the bathroom I found another sore, and cus came out. And it cannot be a STD because I haven't had sex in 9 years. So now the right side is swollen a little bit.

Brief Answer:
skin infection

Detailed Answer:
Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
The skin infection is probably due to staph aureus bacteria.
Though the sexually transmitted infections are common not all infections in genital area are due to the same.
You will need antibiotics for a week.
Any throbbing pain is relieved with hot fomentation and tablet paracetamol
Take tab amoxy clav 625 mg twice a day for a week.
Also it's important not to squeeze any of the pustules. The exuding pus will cause infection in other areas.
Hope this was helpful.
Please write back if you have any more questions.
Thanks
