A member asked:

Had an inch on my vagina so i scratched it. thought maybe the pad irritated it. now there is a red spot .what could it be.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many possibity: A bump and red spot could be yeast, bug bite, inflamed or infected hair follicle if on vulva, an std, a skin tag, a hpv related genital lesion, an allergic reaction. List is long and difficult to diagnose without a picture. See an md if you're worried.
