Bumps on Vulva

Posted , 4 users are following.

ince October I have been dealing with these vaginal bumps. They look like white heads. They're filled with pus (usually greenish in color), they pop, and sometimes they go away and other times they remain open and sore then heal up. In october, my gyno swabbed me for herpes, came back negative. Associated it with shaving and put me on antibiotic. It went away. In December I decided to shave with an electric razor and they appeared again, went to my family doctor. She assured me they looked nothing like herpes but clogged hair follicles, and put me on antibiotic again. Went on and did a bloodtest for HSV (for my own anxiety) and it came back negative for gential but positive for HSV1. She said that a lot of people carry it and never show any cold sore symptoms. Stopped shaving, bumps showed up again in mid Jan, went to another gyno since mine retired. He went on and did another swab for HSV, both came back negative. Said I'll probably have to go to a dermatologist. Since mid Jan, I've had either 1 or 2-3 new bumps show up. They range from the size to just a little pin to the size of an eraser. They appear anywhere from the outside where the hair is, to the inside on the labia majora and minora. I just had 2-3 to go away, and now 2 more white heads have popped up on my labia minora.  I don't know if I have some sort of vaginal acne or what. Anybody else have this issue? I'm on birth control and have PCOS. The last gyno I went to diagnosed me with ureaplasma but I took antibiotics for it.

    If I didn't know any better I'd say they were herpes. One thing you do not do is pop those things or they spread! It would be a wise idea to keep your hands off of your privates when all this is taking place

      I've had two swabs done where they have actually popped these zits before for the test.
