The bumps may come from irritation from using pads. Sort of like diaper rash. It could just be a small rash or some boils, caused by moisture, pressure and rubbing against the skin. I usually try to limit my pad usage, since it sometimes can irritate my skin, and I prefer tampons. If this isn't the cause, I'd suggest calling a doctor or gynocologist. This could also be a skin disoder. These painful lumps can appear in your underarm area, thighs, groin and other areas without any particular cause. I was prescribed medicine used to treat skin bacteria. It's not contagious, but it can be quite uncomfortable. Your diagnosis may also be sabeceuos or follicle cysts. I have been reading a bit about it because I have a very similar problem. I'm praying I do not carry the incurable HSV virus. If I do, I wouldn't feel bad for myself but for others I have infected.

This is perfectly normal and is caused by irritation or a dry vagina. In some cases it can also be caused by a vaginal cyst in one of the hair follicles. If the bump doesn't disappear in 2 weeks, see your Doctor. Otherwise apply vaginal cream for Yeast infection from your Pharmacist, and no scratching or the lump will increase in size. T x
