Vaginal pimples? Need advice.

Hi Honey! Since you are not sexually active - do you mean in EVERY way? Including oral, rubbing etc? IF that is the case then I would hazzard a guess that you are having a severe allergic reaction to something - probably scented products, such as detergent, fabric softener, soaps etc. For the time being - lets see if we can get this under control for you - I want you to wash yourself with an antibacterial/non soap face wash (for delicate skin) preferably Spectrogel or Physioderm! Then with your laundry, don't use anything scented or with bleach!!! Wear Cotton underwear, and try not to us a panty liner! You need that area to breath as much as possible! Right now the wiping is irritating the area, so if you can get a squirt bottle and use that with warm water, and then just dab dry! ALWAYS rememer to wipe from front to back - not the other way round - as the bacteria from the stool, gets into your vaginal area and causes havoc! Dont wear anything tight! IF you are overweight this could have something to do with it as well, as moisture gets trapped in the crevice and cause a rash - which will be continually aggravated. Calamine Lotion - put in the fridge and dabbed on with a Qtip is an EXCELLENT releiver of itch and will help the area clear. So lets give this a week of doing this OK? IF nothing happens, your mom will need to make an appointment with you to see a gynecologist! It is always a good idea for young girls getting used to their bodies via a specialist, so they can tell IF any problems raise when they are older! Does this help?

Oh wow, thats very helpful :-) Thank you so much!

Yes, I mean every way. Im actually terrified of sex, ahahah. Sounds silly ;P I cant imagine what I would be having an allergic reaction to... I'll be sure to check if we switched laundry detergents or something. Spectrogel or Physioderm? I dont think we have those in the house... Could I get them at a local drug store, or..? And by tight, do you mean tight pants? Im probably going to be in the house for another few days, then its the weekend, so I should be able to manage in loose shorts and not freeze, which is always a plus! :-D I hope I can get calamine lotion at the same place as the spectrogel/physioderm ._. I dont have much access to transportation yet, hahah.

Thank you so much for your help! I'll get on that advice tomorrow, since its a little late to do anything now :-P

Yes you can get ALL the items at a drug store, Also check out a antibacterial wash - it is used for people before surgeries, it is usually where the Gold Bond is etc. ALSO do NOT use Talcum powder down there, it has been shown to get into your cervix/uterus/fallopian tubes! The calamine lotion is SO cheap, and the others are reasonable! ou could also use polysporin - as your itch has pustules - this will stop any infection!

Well, Im glad theyre easily accessible... But, um, well I just checked myself out, cause I noticed I was in a bit more pain... Uh, those things are black now. Like, before they were a kinda weird green-yellow... But now theyre black. And dry... I have no idea what this could be but its freaking me out now.

Oh god. I just woke up; Im covered in blood. I cant tell if its my period or one of those stupid things. The pain in moving and sitting and coughing is unbearable now. Ive been holding in my coughs because of this. My mom JUST got back from the doctor and doesnt want to take me because she had to wait for several hours (Probably) to get in. But oh god.

Ok honey! Since you can't get to a doctor - and don't worry it's not an emergency! First lets determine if it is in fact your period! Also know that when you have such severe inflamation like this, using a tampon or pad could actually irritate it more - but unfortunately you don't have much of a choice! So IF your mom can go and get these things for you, this will help you OK?

1. Hydrogen Peroxide
2. Polysporin
3. Squirt bottle

When you get those, the first thing I want you to do is fill the bottle with warm water and about 2 TBSP's of Hydrogen Peroxide in it too! Shake it up, and EVERYTIME you go to the washroom, rinse the area with the solution. When it is cleaned off, then dab it dry! Then apply the polysporin! This is going to be a bit messy - if you have your period! BUT at least we are doing something!

Also honey do you shave down there? If you do - this could be all ingrown hairs - which are VERY common! Also know that you can all of a sudden get an allergy from something you didn't before!

IF your mom doesn't want to do these things for you!!!!!! Then ask someone else for help! There is no need to keep on suffering like this honey! Let me know how you make out OK? Good luck and health honey!

Thank you very much for all your help, bambi :-) Im very greatful. Things unfortunatly havent begun to get better yet, but I got the things you mentioned.

I ended up stopping with the polysporin because when I put it on, it would burn/sting and then Id still be in pain... Last two times I went to the washroom I came out crying because the urine would touch one of the stupid things and it would burn. I had to jump in the shower right after I finished to get the burning to stop. I went to my mom after, crying, and mentioned that I wanted to go to the doctor tomorrow even though I was on my period. I told her that these things were actually blocking the hole to my vagina and the blood was getting all stuck and stuff; my mom didnt know they had gotten that big. So she took me to the doctor for the first time for...this. It was a walk-in clinic. He suggested a medicine thats 60-90 dollars because he thinks its- get this,- herpes. Now, I told him Im not sexually active in any way and all that jazz. He says it could be transferred by my hands. My mom didnt get the medicine because she knows the for it to be transferred by my hands, I'd have to touch someones coldsore and then touch down there or something, or someone would have to come in skin-to-skin contact and have a coldsore, AND touch me down there.

So Im stuck again until Wednesday, the walk in hours for my actual doctor, and when I dont have my period. We bought tylonal with coadine or something; mom says I should be out cold soon. I'll be laying in bed, doing nothing, trying not to pee until then. :-(

OH HON!!!! It's NOT herpes for crying out loud! NOW another thing that you just mentioned is that it is blocking your vagina! So don't feel that what you are going to describe to me is too much information OK? BUT is it a cyst at the opening of your vagina or just inside of your vagina? Or is it several cysts, with one of them being that big? Also the hydrogen peroxide and warm water, should take away any stinging for you - which will enable you to put the polysporin on it! The urea is what is buring the cysts, so you have to neutralize it with the hydrogen - which is more in line with your own ph! Also ask your mom to get Epsom Salts for you! What you do is this, you run a VERY warm bath, and pour about 3 cups of Epsom Salts in it! Run it till it's just over your thighs, and sit in there as long as possible trying to let the solution soak into the tender area! The Epsom Salts, causes osmosis and draws out any infection - also neutralizing the acid in the infection! Once you get out, you do the same thing with the hydrogen peroxide and warm water, and dab on polysporin!

NOW IF you have an enlarged cyst right in the opening of your vagina, it is called a Bartholin Cyst! And this will grow and grow until it either bursts or is lanced!! They can grow to the size of a grapefruit!!!!!! IF this is the case with you, when you are in the bath - with the Epsom Salts, GENTLY press on either side of the lump and this should pop it! Or make it ooze! It;s gross I know, but better out than in! This cyst is caused by moisture being trapped in the Bartholin Gland - an enlarged pore right inside your vagina! Most go away by themselves, but since you are having such problems, I would think it is that! I had my 1st one when I was about 15/16! What I want you do is try and get this under some sort of control before going to the doctors - so you aren't as in much pain as you are! Also I'm sure you can't use a tampon in your state, but the pads - that draw a lot of liquid away, can also add to your problem! So IF you guys have a natural health store near you, ask your mom to get you the natural pads - they are beige colored and don't have as many chemicals and bleach in them - which can cause a lot of pain down there! You definitely need to keep the area clean and definitely put the polysporin on too! Good luck honey, let me know how you are making out OK?

Hahah, Dont worry I know its not herpes ;P Im not sure why the doctor would say it could be transferred by my hands. My moms been specifically told by many doctors that it cant. Its not completely blocking my vagina, by enough to keep a lot of the blood inside. Its around 5 or 6 at the opening.Theyre all about the size of... Hm.. I'd say maybe a little smaller or the size of a penny? Im bad with size estimates :-( I unfortunatly cant find a squirt bottle, so I havent been using the hydrogen peroxide.. If I dont end up using it, it wont hurt will it? Im kind of scared of chemicals. Im not quite sure what you mean by 'my own ph'.

Im not quite sure if what I have are cysts, so Im not sure if we should be running around buying things just yet. The Epsom Salts, are those for cysts only? Or things like this in general? To be honest, I've googled everything I could think of - Pimples, Cysts, Blisters, Blood blisters, etc etc - and nothing looks like what I have! Ive browsed this site, too, and found a few other people who seem to have the same problem I have.

In case someone later reads this, you most certainly can transfer oral herpes to your vulva. There are many other things it could be, and doctors can be shockingly skittish and ignorant about vulvar infections. Try vulvar lichens, among other possible infections. If anyone else has this problem, herpes sores can be cultured and tested. The doctor should do exactly that if they believe they appear to be herpetic lesions. Also, the type is no longer indicative by blood test alone. Oral sex is extremely common now and some older doctors seem to have not caught up on the HSV-II and HSV-1 shifts in infection sites. A blood test alone cannot accurately identify if you have genital herpes. They need to culture the sores to tell. Make sure they do it. Physicians are not gods, but many will act like they are if you don't challenge them when needed. Be ready to advocate for yourself if you get a doc who doesn't seem to know better.
