A member asked:

Red bump with white head on it. on my outer labia. it only hurts when being pressed or touched against it. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible infection: This could be an infected gland in the area. Suggest you use warm compresses or sit in a tub of very warm water and also wash with an antibacterial soap like dial. If it worsens, may need to be drained by a doctor or you may need an antibiotic.
