I have had these in the past and have had several. In my situation they are nothing more than an infected pore/ hair follicle (I shave mostly in that area) I went to the Dr once over a particularly stubborn one and my Dr. ended up lancing it *wince. She said that little cuts or simply not wearing underwear or showering after intercourse can cause such annoyances. I do have a scar or two because of them which is inevitable, if they get out of control and get to deep.
I've found that they either go away or burst on their own (thankfully only because of friction cause by pants rather than in the middle of intimacy :-s) I usually wait until there is an obvious weak point and use a sterilized sewing needle and apply a small amount of pressure which is relatively painless and the release of pressure and insecurity of thinking "oh god, I hope they don't notice!" was well worth it. Just my two cents. if you find anytihng else out please respond as this is still something that i am looking into, which is what lead me to this post
Im very sexually active. I had 2 big bumps on my labia majora a week ago. Now I noticed on one of the big bumps with 3 small blistery bumps around it. They are painful and Im so afraid to even wash with soap. Im also experiencing painful sex.
OMG i pretty much have the same thing, did you ever get the result of what it was?
I have to wait at urgent care tomorrow to have mine looked at.
I only have one partner and we were both checked early in the relationship for std's and everything was negative ... but still sometimes you can never be sure.
This sounds like a cyst or boil. I am sorry its in the place it is - that has to really hurt.
I would get this checked by a doctor. You might need an antibiotic to get rid of whatever bacteria is causing this. Have them culture it to make sure it isn't MRSA, which is a particular kind of staph that only responds to a few antibiotics.
