I'm going to be 40 soon and I had a babygirl 7 1/2 months ago. I recently noticed that when I have my cycle now, I am noticing pimples or hard bumps on side of my vagina. I don't know if this is due to my hormones changing or what exactly. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Also, this only happens when I have my cycle, the bumps are like pimples that havn't came to a head and can be very sore and painful. I clean that area all the time. I don't have time to schedule a doctors appointment because of having babygirl and three boys (ages 14, 11, and 8) very busy. I don't know if its ingrown hairs or like I stated earlier, hormones.
