What Causes Pimples In The Vagina While On Faslodex?

I am currently undergoing treatment for metastatic breast cancer that includes the drug Faslodex which is an estrogen blocker. I have been in treatment for 12 months. Today I noticed what appears to be pimples in my vaginal area - the labial folds. They vary in size and shape. Can you tell me what these are?

Hello,

Vaginal pimples may be associated with STD (sexually transmitted disease), HPV (human papillomavirus), and others. If Faslodex is being consumed for 12 months and pimples have shown which means it is not the side effect of the drug.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
