Is Sore And Reddish Bump On Labia Suggestive Of Herpes?
I have one red bump on the outside of my labia. In the public hair area. It isn t itchy and only sore to the touch. I pressed a needle against it and was able to squeeze it and white puss came out. I am wondering if it could be herpes or just a pimple. What is the signs of heroes compared to a pimple.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is the single lesion then it could be due to some infection and it may be bacterial one, initially this can be managed with conservative treatment like anti-inflammatory drugs like "Tab Ibuprofen 400mg" three times in day with topical application of "Povidone Iodine" cream take care for hygiene, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
