What Could Be The Cause For Bump On Lower Left Labia?
Hello,
I have a bump on the outside of my lower left Labia. I am trying not to freak out. I am worrying myself to death. I looked up pictures of what herpes looks like and it doesn't look like that at all. I can't help but worry myself to death. I have an appointment soon, but I am just soo scared. I shaved yesterday and they didnt show up until after I shaved. I was wearing polyester underwear also. I heard that if there is only one spot of lesions that it could just be a cyst. I really don't want to come back positive for herpes, because then it would ruin everything. It is very small and there are only 2 itty bitty ones. They aren't that painful, just a little irritating. Anything you could tell me ?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some ingrown hair follicle infection or allergy to synthetic inner wear.
Nothing to worry, go for one antibiotic cream locally.
If require go for one antibiotic medicine course.
Keep local hygiene clean and hygienic.
Ok and take care.
