What Do Red Bumps In Vaginal Area During Pregnancy Indicate?
I am pregnant and have red bumps on my vaginal hood. They are very itchy and uncomfortable. Some days it doesnt effect me but most days it does. Do i have an std or is it an infection caused by pregnancy? Ive noticed it since being pregnant. I am worried about my babys health because of it during delivery.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is understandable to be concerned but it may not necessarily affect baby, this would depend on the cause for the lesions.
It would be best to have the lesions examined to determine the exact source and receive treatment.
They may be due to different causes such as dermatitis (irritation or allergic reaction to a product coming in contact with the area), fungal infection or viral infection.
Treatment would vary according to the cause found.
I hope this helps
