Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello. For the last two days I ve had a small white bump/spot 2mm long on the inside of my right labia minora. That area of the labia minora is also slightly swollen and tender. This is the first time anything like the white spot or the swelling has ever happened (I and my partner check each other s genitalia once a week). My partner and I are exclusive, we don t have any STDs, and we ve been sexually active for a year and two months. The only things I can think of that may have caused this is 1) I accidentally nicked my right major labia with scissors while trimming my pubic hair, 2) for the last five days I ve been washing my vulva with soap instead of only water like I usually do, and 3) my nails that I haven t cut in a while (they get sharper they longer they grow) could have accidentally scraped the area while I was cleaning. Any ideas, sir?
Hi, It seems that there might be having some infection on that area. Reason might be as you mentioned. Nothing to worry, if infection is markedly severe, you might require one short course of antibiotic medicine for3-5 days. After proper cleaning apply antibiotic cream locally. Keep local hygiene proper. Ok and take care.
