What Causes Itchy Bumps In The Vagina During Pregnancy?

I m a 22 year old female who is 8 weeks pregnant. I have a breakout on my vagina and I m scared it s genital herpes. In some bumps you can see the hair folical is stuck. It s does not hurt it s a little itchy but I do have excess discharge from pregnancy. I have been with the same guy for four years we already have a son together but I ve never had this kind of break out. I don t have sensitive skin though

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, it could be folliculitis. Please keep area clean. Use cotton underwear. Change them if damp. If using liners, get hypoallergenic /cotton ones. Wash are with cool water. Avoid shaving (if you do). Try a trimmer or scissors. If persists, see your OBGYN to check for infection.
