Small reddish bumps inside vaginal lips / on urethral opening? *PHOTOS* STD or something else??
Posted , 29 users are following.
So maybe starting about a month ago I started having some burning in my vagina almost every time after having sex, and it was with a new guy that I've been seeing (and currently still am) - and in all honesty we had a LOT of sex and my vagina definitely took a lot. The burning sometimes lasted more than a day which started to concern me, but it would always get better eventually.
However, yesterday when we started to have sex I noticed that when he touched the area inside my vaginal lips (like near the opening of my vagina, near my urethral opening, by my clitoris, etc.) there was a burning pain, and the same burning pain also happened right when he first put his penis inside of my vagina. It was only slightly painful/burned at the beginning of us having sex but after a while when we continued to have sex I didn't notice any kind of pain or burning at all for the rest of the time. We started using a new water-based lubricant about 2 weeks ago when we have sex, and it doesn't feel anything but great so I dont' really think it would be a reaction to that. I guess I'm just worried that these are symptoms of an STD - I'm mostly nervous that it could be herpes from what I have been obsessively reading online - and if it is then I NEED to tell him becuase we had unprotected sex (I know that's not smart but I'm not here to be judged please). What do you guys think? Also, these bump or pimples or whatever they are look like they are kind under the skin, are mostly red but have a slightly whiteish hue if that makes sense? They're not blisters or anything that is filled with fluid as far as I can tell. They are only sensitive / I only notice them when I touch them, and the pain is a burning sensation. I'm freaking out and I really don't know what to do - I can't go see my OBGYN for another week becuase I am leaving for a trip tomorrow and won't be back until next weekend, and I really don't want to spend my time away constantly worrying about what this could be (but I know that's probably what is going to happen). Any ideas/ advice / opinons?

An STD screening doesn’t usually test for warts and they are often misdiagnosed. Don’t freak out though! Could be ingrown hairs, pimples, or cysts too. If they itch a lot and are in clusters it’s likely warts. Tea tree oil and apple cider vinegar are popular at-home treatments for warts, but will sting a bit.

I find it very odd that "they" would suggest maybe it's razor bumps; because it's on the labia minora- which is the "hairless inner labia"... it's the putter labia, the majora ,that grow the hair...
so I doubt you were shaving the labia minora and near your urethra etc...
Sometimes yeast infections can cause "bumps" similar to these...
we also have glands in this area that we can't really see- but maybe if your vulva area is inflamed from an infection it may make it more noticeable ...?

Having an ingrown hair right there would be extremely unlikely...
also it doesn't resemble an ingrown hair.. also doesn't look like pimples to me-
From this photo she shared (if this is how yours looks) I really don't see anything alarming
Often we aren't as familiar with our genitals as we may think we are; especially at a young age..
Btw I'm responding again really in response to the other person who replied to you-
& hpv may not show up in std testing; but I can bet money that your gyno will test for that regardless... since it is such a "common" thing- they typically check for that.
To me it looks like papillae- but I'm not a doctor
Practice safe sex always!! (Remember, you don't only need to be safe during intercourse - but also with oral sex!!)
Be careful & diligent with your hygiene ,& don't use any scented products for your vagina or things like douching .. and you should be good!! 😊

Keep as Dry and cool as possible.also, IF you partake in cunnillingus , make SURE that your partner practices oral hygiene at Least, 30 minutes before. Rinse with water after. It sounds like yeast to me. The mouth contains a high amount of yeast. Adding them to your vulva may be too much at one time.
Of course, Abstinance, for Now, will cure/ pinpoint what the problem is.
I pray that this was helpful. Remember, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND WORTH ALL THINGS GOOD!
