Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Today I noticed a small, bright red, dark red bump on the outside of my labia majora. I'm very nervous and don't know what it is... Recently, I've been feeling discomfort down there, sometimes itchy...Duration of the current illness: Approximately 4.5 days
Doctor's answer:
Hello; Based on your condition, it's impossible to determine, it might be due to inflammation. It is recommended to have a gynecological examination to consider the possibility of vaginitis causing the issue. It is advised to pay attention to menstrual hygiene and maintain clean and dry external genitalia. Avoid scratching, hot water bathing, and using soap. When infection occurs, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. It is best to go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to identify the specific inflammation and then treat accordingly.
