 Posted: 03/25/06 - 20:42 Post subject: ingrown hair, Pimple or herpes |
  |
|
| I'm a 27 year old woman 5 months ago i changed sex partners i have been having protected sex withthis one person.1 week ago i noticed a bump that resembles a pimple on the outer lip of my vagina the bump appeared one week after shaving the entire area hairless. I am experiencing no pain during urination, no discharge, the bump is not painful it is however slightly itchy. Recently it erupted and a very small amount of pus and blood came out, the bump has completely gone down . What could this have been an ingrown hair or something more serious? |

I don’t think it is anything serious. If it were, there would probably be more than just one pimple like bumps. Herpes is specific, because it is more like a blister, filled with fluid that may drain and then form a crust on top.
I don’t even think it was an ingrown hair, I reckon it was an ordinary sebaceous cyst a.k.a a pimple. Sebaceous glands grow under the skin attached to the hair follicle duct and these glands produce oily substance that goes out to the skin along the hair and it lubricates our skin. When this oily substance collects and the ducts are blocked, the oil can accumulate and if the pores are open bacteria can get in and cause a pimple on top of the skin. The puss that came out probably had a bad odor. It is called sebum and represents dead skin cells, dead bacteria and this oily substance. The bad smell came for bacteria.
There wasn’t a hair in there, was it? I mean, it makes no difference if it were an ingrown hair or a pimple, it is important that it is gone and I am almost certain that it is no STD. |

I have the same problem I have 3 bumps instead these are larger all about 3 inches away from each other . There is no puss they are just painful.
I did go to the beach and was shaving down there everyday for 4 days, which I normally don't do. Are they just 3 large ingrown hairs? |
