See doc: You need an exam. There's a chance the growth is a herpes lesion. Or potentially something like an irritated hair follicle or a fungus. Your doc can help.

Question 5

hello, i have a small round white patch on my skin, theres only one and its the size of a quarter located in near my genital area. it looks vitiligo-like

Watch and wait: You may examine the area periodically. If the "patch" doubles in size, a nodule develops, the area ulcerates or bleeds or other such areas develop, it would be prudent to see your doctor.

Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 6

painful bump between inner/outer labia, i just shaved so i thought ingrown hair, but this is the area w/o hair. looks like whitehead. never had sex.

Accepted Answer

Bartholin cyst: What you described suggests a Bartholin cyst, due to blockage of the duct of gland normally present at the opening of the vagina. It is of no concern, unless it gets infected. Shaving your private parts is not a good idea and it makes you more likely to get infection.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.  Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless.
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 7

i have numbness in tailbone area, very dry labia looks, like reptile skin, itching, discoloration of labia almost bruised looking. doesnt hurt to urinate or shower, do have pain after skin is touched. was treated with diflucan for yeast monday?

Accepted Answer

Yeast vaginitis: I can't associate sacral-coccyxgeal numbness with the yeast vaginitis, but itching is common. The labial changes appear chronic &amp; more than what yeast vulval infections cause. In my experience, onetime oral diflucan is more effective in younger women so you might also apply antiyeast  cream to the vulva. Consult a dermatologist as needed for further evaluation of the skin problems.

Question 8

i  noticed today thati have what looks like little bruses on my labia. ?

Accepted Answer

May be blood vessels: It may be blood vessels that gives a bluish-black discolorations. See your doctor for clarification.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor, preferably a dermatologist. Wish you good health!

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Rash:  Vitiligo causes lack of pigment to affected areas of skin rather than causing peeling patches. You need to be evaluated to get an accurate diagnosis.
