Is it an ingrown hair? A pimple? Or something else?
Every person’s vulva is different, so the texture and appearance of the entire area can vary from person to person, Christine Greves, M.D.“Normal” is a tricky word, she explains, because your normal may look completely different compared to someone else’s normal. For example, if you’ve had a skin tag on your labia your whole life, that may be normal for you, but not for someone else. In general, Dr.
She says vaginal bumps can look like an ulcer, a blister, a freckle, a wart, or even a series of little bumps like a rash. They can be skin-colored , red, pink, or dark brown. Basically, if it’s a raised surface of some type, it could appear on your labia.There are various reasons you may be seeing bumps in your vaginal area. Experts say these are some of the biggies:This is one of the most common vagina-bump-related reasons Dr. Dweck sees in her office.
What’s inside of them differs. Sometimes they leak a clear, mucus-like liquid, other times they weep pus, and in some instances they’re not filled with fluid at all, says Dr. Dweck. These cysts can be painful, but if they’re small and not infected, you may not even notice them.
Luckily, ingrown hairs usually go away without treatment. But if you suspect you have one and it’s not going away, or it feels like it’s getting more uncomfortable or even painful, Dr. Greves recommends checking in with your doctor.You can develop pimples on your vulva, just like you can get acne on other parts of your body. “It’s not as common as getting pimples on your face, but it can happen,” Dr. Greves says.
However, a true pimple can form when your hair follicles get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. In that case, it will typically look like a whitehead down there, Dr. Greves says. That means a pimple near your vagina can also look a lot like an ingrown hair, which can develop a fluid-filled blister. Regardless, don’t pick at or try to pop it to avoid further irritation. Instead, keep the area clean and apply a warm compress to soothe the skin until it heals.
