What is wrong with the vulvar abscess?

Patient's question:

There are several pustules on the external labia, and touching them causes pain, while not touching them results in mild itching. Pay attention to the growth on the clitoris in the labia minora, with the largest being 1 cm wide, round, accompanied by two smaller ones.

Doctor's answer:

From the situation you described, the main considerations are vaginal inflammation and vulvar cysts, which are often caused by unhygienic sexual activity or other forms of vaginal infection with purulent bacteria. The infection occurs when bacteria enter the hair follicles of the vulvar skin, leading to the formation of pustules. It is recommended to seek medical attention at a gynecological department for examination and treatment. Routine vaginal inspection and a routine vaginal discharge test are usually performed to identify the pathogen. Pustules can be treated with pus drainage, and appropriate antibiotics should be taken orally and applied externally based on the identified pathogen. Temporarily, maintain a light and nutritious diet and pay attention to personal hygiene.
