Suggest Medication For Bumps On The Outer Labia

Hi, I am 33 only had 2 sexual partners my entire life. In the past 3 weeks I ve noticed 2 bumps on my medial outer labia that are the size of a pen head. Sometimes they look white in color to me & other times more flesh toned. I think a third one is developing. They cause no pain however will itch if I mess with them. They are hard like a cyst; feel nothing like a pimple. I ve been with my husband for 13 years. He promises his fidelity. Any thoughts on what these are?

Hello,

You are having discomfort(itchy feeling) on the outer labia. You had two sexual partners. You are suggested not to touch or scratch the area affected. Apply cold compress 3-4 times a day. Take sitz bath twice daily for relief. Get clinically examined to detect or rule out Bartholin' cyst or sebaceous cyst on the labia. You will be accordingly treated.

In case it is not, then take an STD test to stay on the safer side. Genital herpes & genital herpes manifest with the symptoms you are experiencing. If positive, you will be treated with antibiotics / antivirals. To reduce itching you can apply ointment hydrocortisone on the affected area.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
