Suggest Treatment For Pimples On The Vaginal Lips
Question: I have several large pimples on the inside lips of my vagina. They look white in a complete circle and are firm. I have tried but I can't get anything out of them.
Brief Answer:
Pathophysiology explained.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HelathcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. It is likely that you have Bartholin's cysts that you are describing. The Bartholin's glands are a pair of pea-sized glands found just behind and either side of the lips that surround the entrance to the vagina. They secrete fluid that acts as a lubricant during sex. If the ducts become blocked, they can fill with fluid and expand to form a cyst.
If you do not have any noticeable symptoms, it's unlikely you will need treatment. If the cyst is painful, simple self care measures such as soaking the cyst in warm water several times a day for three or four days and taking over-the-counter painkillers should suffice. If that does not help, the cyst might need to be drained. Most of these treatments involve a minor surgical procedure. You have to see a doctor accordingly.
Regards

Regarding my problem. I have been wearing pads for small leaks. Do you think that could make the situation worse?
Brief Answer:
It will not be contributory at the present stage
Detailed Answer:
Yes, that could have contributed to the development of blockage of the opening of those glands. However, they are unlikely to make the matters worsen further.
