Suggest Treatment For Vestibular Papillae On Labia

Hi, I think I may have developed vestibular papillae on my labia minora and just into the entrance of the vagina. It has only appeared in the past couple of weeks, is painless and non itchy, but I am concerned about the appearance and reason for it suddenly developing. I thought it may just have been an irritation reaction to a new shower gel I started using, but has remained after laying off using that. Also I noticed it just a couple of days after I had a random possible panic attack, although I'm not sure if there is any connection. I am not currently sexually active so I doubt it is any type of STI, but also do not feel comfortable visiting a clinic so would like to treat this at home if possible. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I will suggest you to apply anti-fungal ointment with steroids locally for 20 days. Take oral anti-fungal tablets (Itraconazole) weekly for 4 weeks.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,

I would suggest you to apply anti-fungal ointment with steroids locally in the area of your vestibular papillae. Also, I would suggest you to apply aloe vera ointment locally in the area. I think that this condition of your will resolve after you start applying ointments.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
