Thread: Bumps - Not what you're used to reading

I can't wait to go to my gynecologist to talk about the problem I'm having. I've researched and researched on the internet for months trying to find someone that has a problem that sounds like mine. I'm terrified.

About a year ago, a developed a pea-sized blister on my labia. I left it alone and it went away. Not too much to worry about. About two months later, I developed another one, in a different spot on my labia. It, too, went away. No popping, no scabbing, nothing. Just very, very, painful. About one month later, another appeared in yet another different spot, on the opposite labia. Then , a few weeks later, another appeared. And another. And another. Each time I only get one of these blistery bumps and they clear up on their own.

Over time, they've been appearing more and more often. It's gone from every few months, to every month, to every few weeks, to every week, and starting two weeks ago, they're constant. They last for about 4 days and then are gone for 2 days and another shows up again. Sometimes in the same spot, usually in different spots, and always on the labia majora. Only once or twice have I had two at once.

I've tried several things to try and stop these. Warm baths - don't help. Changed laundry detergent - didn't help. I don't even sleep with bottoms on so I get extra air down there and that doesn't help!

I'm really scared and while I do have an appointment with the gyno, it's not for another month and I just can't take it anymore. It's destroying my mental health.

Also, if anyone is curious about it being an STD- I am with my boyfriend of 1.5 years. We don't use condoms (I'm on birth control). These bumps did not appear until after we've had sex for about 7 months. I honestly don't believe it to be an STD, as I do remember long long ago when I was about 14 or 15 (and still a virgin) I developed two of these bumps at the same time. And they went away on their own, but never came back. Not until now anyway.

Can someone please, please help me? At least try to put my mind at ease until I see the gyno? I'm most worried about it being an STD but I just can't find any information anywhere about Herpes or Syphyllis or anything that even remotely describes my problem.

Please help me.

Thank you.

I have had 'bumps' in those same areas for years, but mine are ususally harder than liquid. I have gone to the doctor, only to have them be almost gone when I get there, or they just keep saying "watch them, if they don't go away or get larger we will look further". Never looked further, they keep going away! So, most likely they are just build ups that will keep going away.
