What Does Itchy Labia With Bumps Near Vaginal Opening Suggest?
Hi, Ive been very itchy for the last few weeks around my labia, i just now noticed there are quite a few bumps near my vaginal opening, quite a few. The itchiness is hard to pinpoint but still in my labia, im younger and dont want to tell my parents, please tell me if this is serious. Doesn t sound like a yeast infection. Way worse at night almost can t notice in day.

Hello,
Yes, the itching with bumps on the vaginal opening are suggesting of candida infection. I advise to take Clotrimazole cream, and observe the changes. With regard to your parents, although you are young, you should talk to your mom. There is nothing wrong and bad in there.
Your mom will help you ease your sufferings and help explain some things that make you feel worrisome. Plus, at your age, we should rule out intestinal parasites. So, you need to run stool examination for ova parasites. Meanwhile, apart taking Clotrimazole cream, should keep the genital area well clean.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
