Couldn't find what you looking for?

TRY OUR SEARCH!

I went to the doctor yesterday and got diagnosed with BV (bacterial vaginosis) which is a common bacterial imbalance in the vagina. I shaved before I went in and now I have little bumps on my vulva/ vaginal opening. They are very painful. Is it a possibility that they are infected in grown hairs? I figure it is probable since I had a vaginal infection but am a little concerned they could be something worse.

Hi,

When you say the bumps are on the vulva and near the vaginal opening are you referring to the position on your outer labia where the hair grows, or the moist part and actual vaginal opening?  I doubt it would be ingrowing hairs after such a short time after shaving, but I guess it could be possible.  Often when you shave totally, especially if is not something you usually do the next day and for a few days later you can get many bumps and resemble a uncooked chickeno.O it can create a highly annoying itch.  This is simply due to the shaving, the skin in that area is extra sensitive and as you shave you repeatedly scrape the same area,  guys get shaving rash and it's pretty similar to that.  If you have a non perfumed moisturizer or some drapoline/sudocreme put a little of that there and it will relieve it a bit

If you were meaning the bumps are located on the moist areas where no hair usually grows it's possible they are related to the bacterial vaginosis.  I believe these look a bit similar to taste buds and can appear white if you stretch the skin, nothing to worry about either way.  If it becomes very bothersome have it looked at again to be sure, but it should clear up soon, especially if you Dr has given you something already.  I hope this has helped<3

I'm having it looked at again in a little bit. I will let you know what they say. Thanks for your help! I just hope it isn't the h wordo.O I have only had 1 partner and I'd like to hope that he is clean. But it's scary nonetheless.
