Is Monistat, Effective For Lumps On Labia Minora ?
About 4 days ago I developed a pea sized lump at the bottom of my left labia minora under the skin. It really itches but I don t have ay discharge. It got slightly bigger the next day. Then I took a bath in hot water and epson salt and notice a smaller second lump on day 3. On day four I put iodine on the area cuz I did t want it to get infected and now I have a red ulcer like area over the lumps. I don t have any pain but I till have lots of itching. My doctor can t see me for a week. Should I go to the emergency room? Could this be a yeast infection that I can use a monistat for?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having yeast infection and due to itching there might be having secondary bacterial infection.
You might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.
Take Benadryl or Cetrizine for itching.
Apply anti-fungal cream locally.
Maintain proper local hygiene.
Ok and take care.
