Though I am not sexually active, got a bump on my vagina. Please help.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 18 years old and virgin. Lately, I have been having some problems down there. I have a bump or something on the right lip of my vagina. Sometimes, I feel itch and it sting unexpectedly throughout the day. It also did not heal. I am sure that it cannot be an STI or STD, because I am not sexually active. Can you help me?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Well, I do understand your dilemma.
I have a few simple suggestions for you. Bear in mind though that the best method of treatment in your case is for you to visit a gynecologist and have him or her see the lesion. Keep your privates dry. Wipe thoroughly, but gently after going to the washroom. Wear loose fitting cotton underwear only at all times and nothing synthetic. Apply a powder after you take a bath or visit the washroom. It can be either Clotrimazole powder or Neosporin (combination of Polymyxin B sulfate, Neomycin and Bacitracin). Apply a simple ointment such as T-bact (Mupirocin), Betadine or Neosporin twice a day. One of these times must be prior to bedtime. If you have had someone go down there orally and they have a cold sore please let me know. I suggest you some oral medication for 3 days. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent. Tablet Azithromycin 500 mg once a day after food for three days. You should be better in a week to 10 days.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
