Question 1

there is pea sized lump on outer vagina within pubic hair area, is purply red in colour and not sore with no redness surrounding it. should i be worri?

Accepted Answer

Possible Abscesses: It sounds like you may have some abscesses with or without cellulitis.  You may need antibiotics and possible drainage of the abscesses if they are fully formed.  In the meantime analgesia like paracetamol and ibuprofen will help but also running the area under hot water and soap as often as it is convenient should help.  You should let a doctor take a look at it.

Question 2

have a bump in pubic hair area on left side at top, not near vagina. looks like it's filled with pus and hurts a little?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal bumps: Most vaginal bumps turn out to be hair follicle infections, but herpes can also secondarily get infected and cause the same symptoms.  Probably a good idea to see a GYN to confirm which it is.

Question 3

i have a bump on the left size of my vagina the size of s pea for like 6 years now and its hard and hurts sometimes also i have no pubic hair growing?

Accepted Answer

Bartholin's Gland: Normally, these glands maintain labial moisture and sex lubrication. You never know they're there until they get blocked up like this, and then it can be horrible! you may have a visit with your fp to confirm. Because of the years this has been there (and now the pain), you may need to go to a gyn for surgical excision.

Question 4

i have a hard bump on my vagina. it hurt so i put a hot towel on it, squeezed it and puss and thin blood came out. it went down but it's still there and it itches sometimes. it's on top of the vagina were the pubic hair is.

Accepted Answer

Infected gland: There are numerous glands at the vaginal entrance. These glands secrete fluid that helps lubricate the vagina. Sometimes the openings of these glands become obstructed, causing fluid to back up into the gland.  At times, the fluid within the cyst may become infected. See your doctor to get it drained if needed and treated.

Question 5

i have a bump on my vagina filled with puss and blood. it resurfaces in the exact same spot every couple of months. any ideas? sometimes it hurt in the beginning when it resurfaces.
it is on the outside where pubic hair grows.

Accepted Answer

This : This is concerning.  Please be sure that you have had a doctor take cultures on it.  You may have a cyst in that area or a gland that keeps getting infected.  You could try always using anti-bacterial soap to prevent it, and if it starts getting infected again immediately place triple antibiotic cream on it (such as bacitracin), but please also have your gynecologist check it as it may need cultures if you have not already done so.  If it becomes painful, swollen, red, or you have fever then you would need to be seen immediately.

Question 6

i have discharge that then dries kind of brown and stick to my pubic hair and my vagina itches?

Accepted Answer

Yeast infection: Typically, when there's itching it can be due to a yeast infection.  Discharge that's brown is typically old menstrual blood.  You can see a doctor or clinic and get an exam to test for yeast.  If the brown discharge is bothering you, that is, if it's lasting for more than a few days, then you might want to consider some hormones to help regulate your cycle so that you don't have as much spotting.

Question 7

i was wonderin can pubic hair irritate the vagina especially around the clitoris & near vagina opening? because i feel uncomfortable when it pricks me

Accepted Answer

Shaving: Normally pubic hairs are long enough that they are soft and don't irritate but if you clip them or shave they can irritate.

Question 8

my baby has pubic hair on vagina, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Probably not...: ...Real pubic hair: a few wisps of hair are acceptable on infant vulva. If there's lots of it, ask your dr next time.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Lots reasons: You may have an infection, you may have a dermatitis (skin condition),   if you have shaved the area hair growing back can be both itchy and irritating.
