Suggest Cause For Red Bumps On The Outer Labia In Sexually Active Females
Hey there! I have a small red bump on my upper outer labia. It doesn t look like a pimple (there is no head), and it is not necessarily painful. It is just small and red. It popped up about two days ago. It s not causing problems, but it s still concerning. What could be causing this? I have made an appointment to get tested for an STD, even though I ve only had sex with one person (3 weeks ago) and they promised me they have nothing.Thank you so much!
