Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Presence of red bumps on the clitoris could be due to superficial skin infection like carbuncle, which is skin infection and is resulting in burning sensation. This can happen when you are using hormonal preparations such as birth control pills.
You can overcome the lesions by doing the following:
Kindly wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice everyday. After drying, apply Neomycin with Hydrocortizone skin cream over the lesion. Take antiinflammatory tablet Ibuprofen after food.
Wear loose fitting undergarments till the lesions heal completely.
Maintain clean genital hygiene. You may apply water based lubricant/moisturizer creams at bedtime to achieve soothening effect on skin.
The lesions should subside and heal gradually.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
