Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Needs an 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. You may be describing folliculitis, genital herpes, A bartholin cyst of many other things. An obgyn will be able to help you with this problem.
