What Causes Sore Bumps On Clitorius ?

Hi I have 3 little white bumps on my clitorius their very sore and swollen.i don t know if it could be from using my vibrator too much or if it s a pimple. I get check yearly for stds and only have had one partner for a long time so I know it s not an std. I ve been putting a warm compress and neosporane on the area but it s still sore.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Your history and symptoms seem to be Candidiasis of the genital region.First some general precautions should be followed

1.Wear cotton clothes and undergarments in order to reduce the sweating.
2.Do not apply any kind of oils / moisturizing lotion over the affected area .
3.Just give warm saline compresses over the affected area twice a day and then apply an antifungal cream.
4.Something like clotrimazole cream helps in most cases.

You need to take oral antifungals 2 weeks.In case of severe itching, take some antihistamine once a day.

If inspite of the above measures, the lesions continue to persist or increase , then you might have to see a dermatologist for proper assessment and management.
Thank you.
