Hi,
I understand your concern.
Painful vaginal bumps ,in pregnancy is a matter of concern- for vaginal hygiene/health is of utmost importance ,specially from child birth point of view.
These bumps can be bacterial/viral/fungal/allergic in origin.
Your girl friend needs a physical examination by a gynecologist followed by investigations like blood work & culture of the exudate from sore . the specific treatment then will be advised according to the causative organism found. If it's due to STD & both partners need to be treated for it.
I hope the information given helps you.
Thanks
