Hello,
You are suffering from small bumps on the inside of the vagina. Your symptom is indicative of contact dermatitis. Contact dermatitis is commonly caused when the vagina comes in contact with irritating substance like soaps, detergents that are harsh, rubber latex etc. It causes moist, weeping blisters, pimples or bumps that are very itchy. It can also be caused by pimples, Fordyce spots, inflamed sebaceous glands that are small white or yellow-white bumps inside your vulva or vagina.
Take care of your hygiene. Avoid any sexual activity for a couple of days. Wash the private area with water whenever you go to the washroom. If it is itchy, you can apply ointment hydrocortisone on the affected area. Wear soft cotton clothes.
If the bumps are due to allergic reaction to latex, spermicides, etc., then you can take antihistamine, once daily in the evening for 3-5 days. It should subside. However, since you are sexually active you are suggested to get STD tests done to stay on the safer side. If the reports come positive you will be accordingly treated.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
