What Causes White Hard Bumps On Labia Majora?
Question: Hi, My name is XXXX. I'm 22 years old. A few weeks ago I felt three small bumps on the inside of my labia major. I looked at them and they are small round white bumps that feel hard to the touch. They look like whiteheads. I'm not sexually active at all and have never even kissed anyone. I'm really concerned about what could've have caused this.
Brief Answer:
Whitehead pimple. Use anti-bacterial ointment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
According to your information, it is mostly suggestive of white head pimple. It is also called genital acne or pimple which can occur inside labial region and mostly caused by bacterial infection in association with sweating, tight underwear, ingrown hair, boils, contacts with chemical cosmetic/ bath products etc.
TREATMENT: I suggest you to use anti-bacterial ointment like Neosporin or Mupirocin. You must clean the area with anti-bacterial soap before applying the ointment. Kindly, procure a complete prescription from your treating doctor.
Do not squeeze the pimples or white head stuff and it will automatically go away. You can wash the area with warm water or give hot compression after genital shaving to prevent future recurrence.
Taking sitz bath with Epsom salts can sooth, cleanse and even dries a pimple in the genital area. Maintain genital hygiene properly. Wear only cotton underwear. Keep genital area dry and avoid chemical contacts.
Hope, above said information is sufficient & very much helpful to you. If you don't have any other query, you can close the discussion.
Wish your good health and take care yourself.
