    Question

    The labia of my vagina became ichy and now the ich developed to a red bump that looks like a swollen pimple. It hurts a lot when i walk and I do not know what to do. Should I see a doctor or wait for few days to see if it goes away? Thanks

    Answer

    Keep it clean, try a hot bath or a hot compress when it really hurts, and if it does not go away, then see a doctor. Good luck!
