Suggest Treatment For A Blood Blister On Clitoris

default
Posted on Mon, 1 Jun 2015
Question: I seem to have a blood blister right on my clitoris. It rubbed on my jeans today and popped a lil and it bled some. Now it's sore but you can tell its full of blood still. Why would I get one there? No hair there. Do I need to see doc? Gyn? Pcp?

Brief Answer:
Can occur on sweat glands too.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
There is no hair there, but there are sweat glands, these might get infected, and lead to blisters too, just the way hair follicles do that.
Would you mind uploading pictures of the area, so that I can see what needs to be done next ?
For general pointers, avoid touching / handling the area excessively.
Keep the area clean and dry.
Just clean with lukewarm water, use nothing special.
Please upload pics, so that I can comment further.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.

Uploaded pic. It did get rubbed on my underwear and bled some last night. There's no pus. It's all blood.

I am married but I have had POP surgery and it's been a few months so there has been no sex on either part.

Hi,

The pic is very hazy.
Can you take a clearer image of the lesion and the surrounding area only please ?
Also, have you ever had such blisters in the past ?

Brief Answer:
It will heal on its own, do not worry.

Detailed Answer:
I can understand.
I have gone through the pics.
It has gone down now, it has burst .
Just dont touch it.
You can apply local Mupirocin or Bacitracin cream.
NO soap, douche, gel or talc on the area.
It should disappear in maximum one week.
If it does not , consult your OB - GYN for a prescription for oral antibiotics.
I do not think it will come to that, such blisters often heal on their own.
you might have scratched there unknowingly during masturbation / bath ?
