Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Needs exam: Lumps, bumps, blisters and other skin abnormalities on the genitals need to be evaluated. An examination will be needed to know the cause and treatment. This is concerning for a possible genital herpes infection. Other causes such as yeast, vaginal dryness, allergic reactions and other skin disorders are all possiblities.
