Could Pus Filled White Bump On Labia Be Infected Hair Follicle?
I had two bumps on my labia majora that turned into two sores. One has scab bea over with the help of raw Shea Butter but the other has the appearance of a slightly raised bump with a white pus. There is hair in both. Is this an infected hair follicle or herpes?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to hair follicle infection. If you send a picture of it then it will be more helpful in identifying. Hot fomentation will be helpful to relieve pain and inflammation. You can apply betadine ointment locally also. If swelling increase then incision and drainage will be required.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
