I've had a pimple on the outer lip of my vagina for over several weeks. It seemed to go away, but has come back and is more painful than ever. Not sure what could have caused it, but it's too painful to try and remove. Other than shaving down there, I haven't had too much activity in the area. I'm worried that it could be an STD, but I'm married and we're monogamous. Could this be due to an ingrown hair? Or something else as simple? Thanks for any advice you can give.

If the pimple is that big and painful, you should certainly have it checked by a dermatologist. They have the best solutions for anything, at least my dermatologist does.
These could be both a pimple and an ingrown hair and both of these could hurt.
I get ingrown hairs all the time. They are real nuisance. It is said that they should be left alone ( as well as pimples) and not pick them, so that they won’t get inflamed.
Some people say it is good to put warm compresses on the “bumps” to get the white stuff out (if there is any) but you may get an antibiotic or something from a doc to get it cleared.
STD don’t usually cause pimples unless it is HPV. If it’s HPV, then you would probably get more and they would look sort of crusty and ugly. Not like regular pimples.

Usually when there is a pimple on the labia it is HPV or Herpes however I could be wrong

maybe it's a sebacious cyst or boil. These can look like pimples and be quite painful. Once it pops the pressure and pain should subside. Try the warm compresses, it will at least soothe the pain.

See I am very sexual with my boyfriend of 6 months, and I just began having this problem. By my clit I have a jellybean sized lump which appeared about three weeks ago it faded off and I thought that it had gone away but it came back even larger and more painful. I don't know what it is and I am afraid that it is an STD because the bump has no head that I can see of. I have tried to find one to see if it may be an ingrown hair but I was reluctant to find one. I am hoping it is nothing terrible. But another thing along with the swollen lump there, my outer vagina has become severly swollen at times and it causes me pain to urinate. I take uristat and drink cranberry juice to ease the pain, i think that may be caused to a serious UTI but im clueless.

A few years ago I tried the Nuva ring for birth control and I kept geting these painful cyst on my labia. I asked my gyno and she said it could be a Bartholin's cyst caused by the change in hormones. I stoped the Nuva ring and hence... no more cyst.

i looked at the pictures of stds and studied what they look like. It was gross to study but IMPORTANT.
i studied hpv pictures and herpes outbreak pictures.
If I have a partner I study the genitals in the light. Condoms break. It's okay to say No thank you don't feel like it today.
Keep in mind that he she will probably not want you to look and turn off the lights. Say okay no thank you. not today.
Of course anyone can get acne anywhere but do you really want to end up with brain damage from syphilis?
be careful.

I get that pimple like things in my vagina in the inside lips of it specially they can be big or small and sometimes so painful that i cant go to work... they start more than one year ago. They go away and come back. I have been several times in different doctors and they dont know what to do, especially the Gyn. I also went to and infectologist and it wasnt any type of STD, they treat me for one month and half with antibiotics and nothing. It is a very frustrating and sad situation for me, especially the pain and explaining it every time I go to a new doctor. I have never try a dermatologist but I would and probably in combination with some holistic medicine. Sometimes I think that maybe is that I am not eating healthy or exercising much and getting out all the toxins from my body. If get better I would let you know...

Hi! I wrote yesterday... I have went to more than five doctors including gyn, infectologist and finally a dermatologist. I have had the same condition for more than 2 years now and nobody knows what I have until today. I went to the dermatologist and the disease is a very common and simple to treat one. Is Intertrigo (the same that cause diapper rash) the problem is that it get worst without treatment and it doesnt go away without it, especially because our vagina is a warm, moist and dark place. Is a very good idea to visit a dermatologist. They key things are... maintain the area dry, that can be done with a zinc oxide miconazole nitrate cream, also you need to use a cream with clorimazole to kill the yeast infection that is causing your skin to have those pimple like things, the doctor would prescibe you the ones that you can use in your genital area dont try to get them by yourself at the pharmacy. The other thing is dont use any baby powders with cornstarch cause this would be very yummy for the yeast. It may take 1 month or more to get clear, but it would be great to get rid of this rash and after that prevent it with an emulsive cream. :D :D
Here some more information from: ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed
Intertrigo, a common skin concern, is notorious for flaring in response to hot humid weather. Intertrigo affects the health of the areas hidden by heavy skin folds. Heat and humidity along with darkness combine to create the proper conditions for the infection which causes intertrigo. Intertrigo is basically a yeast infection of the skin found under skin folds. The delicate skin under the breasts is most prone to developing intertrigo. Other areas that can become affected include the area under abdominal folds and sometimes folds on the thighs or pubic areas.
