Patient's question:
Something like a pimple has grown on my labia! I don't know what happened? I'm so frustrated!First follow-up question: It doesn't itch, but it sometimes hurts a bit when touched roughly. I haven't had any unsafe sexual contact!
Second follow-up question: It's just one. It really looks like a pimple, with some white on top! What could this be? How should I treat it?
Third follow-up question: Can I use other medications? What kind of ointment would be suitable? If a clear diagnosis can't be made, what condition is it most likely to be? Is it serious? If I see a doctor, which department should I go to?
Doctor's answer:
Patients with genital warts initially present with small pale red papules, which gradually enlarge and develop a verrucous surface with an uneven, soft papillary appearance. Some may resemble cauliflower, with a pedunculated base. The surface is moist and appears grayish, and in cases that have persisted for a longer time, there may be erosion and exudation. Pruritus may occur, leading to scratching, which can result in secondary bacterial infections, causing purulent discharge with an odor and pain.When treating genital warts, it is essential to avoid blind approaches, especially unproven folk remedies, as they may worsen the condition or even increase the risk of malignancy. Therefore, patients must choose appropriate treatment methods and maintain proper lifestyle care to achieve early recovery.
