I have a recurring problem. I get an irritation on my labia majora almost monthly on one side. It starts as an itchy swelling and progresses into a sore that looks raw. It s very painful. I have been to the doctor a few times, I have tried antibiotics medication and creams. It seems to decide around my period and sanitary towels really irritate it. It can last for around ten days. I can t take it anymore.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that it is a herpetic lesion. This can cause swelling, discomfort and also an ulcer when the lesions break open. You may want to consider a blood test to determine if this is the cause. Antiviral medication can reduce the frequency of attacks and also the severity. I hope this helps
