    Question

    Is it possible to get a pimple type thing near but not on one's vagina? My girlfriend had this happen, and it went away, but she was worried and asked me.

    Answer

    You can get a pimple anywhere you have skin. It should be treated like any other pimple. Do not pick at it, keep it clean, use a warm bath or hot compress if it is painful.
