What Causes Pimple With White Head On Labia Majora?
Herpes is only transmitted through any type of sex right? I found a pimple on my labia majora (?) and it has some white-ish stuff inside, kind of like a white head pimple. It appeared several days ago and it has become less swollen and painful, but I m just worried it is something other than a pimple.

Hi.
Depending on the exact location which I can confirm only after a visual examination the cause could be either folliculitis or a Bartholin's cyst. Either way I would recommend a heat pack over the region several times a day, lukewarm water sitz baths with epsom salt in it, wearing clean and dry inner wear, avoiding sexual intercourse or masturbation for at least the next 2 weeks and avoid hair removal from the region during this period.
Best wishes.
