What Causes Itching, Red Irritated Bumps Around Vagina?
I have had the same boyfriend for about 8 months now and have been consistently sexually active with him. Sometimes my vaginal area is a little sore the next day, but this time it is itchy, red and irritated and I recently felt little bumps or ridges inside my vagina. My discharge smells and looks completely normal except for when I ve tried to put itch cream on it and it gets a little thicker and whiter. My boyfriend is completely fine with no irritation at all to his genitals. We tried having sex again a day after I noticed it hurting and there was a very sharp pain when he tried to enter that nearly left me crying in pain. There is some burning during urination but I feel like that happens only if I ve recently been scratching the area. I have been having these symptoms for about 4 days now with no change and it may just be getting worse since I can t help scratching and messing with it.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of this red itchy vaginal lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1. recent fungal infection possibly carried out from skin on genital area
2. Bartholin's cyst like benign vaginal growth/polyp getting infected!
3. vaginal infection, trauma,congestion, minor vessel injury/hematoma, polyps etc: needs antibiotic
Therefore, your condition needs gynecological examination, culture, urine and PAP tests
therefore kindly go for these tests and revert back to us
wishing you best health!
