What Causes Inflamed Red Spots On Labia Majora?

Looks like superficial folliculitis,pictures
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you with the same.
You seem to have developed some infection in the groin region. Since there has been no recent sexual contact, the possibility of a sexually transmitted disease is very less. I rather suspect it to be a superficial skin infection like folliculitis.
For confirmation of the diagnosis, I would like to have a look at the exact skin condition. Please click some close up pictures of the affected area and upload them here on this page.
Also please tell if you have noticed any ulcers or fluid filled blisters over the area.
Any itching or pain?
What all have you been applying over the groin region?
Any cream or oil?
I am sure I will be able to help you better once you provide me the pictures along with the above details.

Localised infection, need antibiotics
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
I have seen the attached picture.
You seem to have developed a localised cellulitis secondary to folliculitis .
Apply a topical antibiotic cream like neosporin or mupirocin over the affected area twice a day .
Take paracetamol tablet twice a day to reduce the associated inflammation and swelling.
You might also need some oral antibiotic in case the infection tends to persist or increase .

But just in case your infection tends to increase , then you might have to see your local doctor for a prescription of antibiotics.
