    Question

    I have a yeast infection and i get them frequently and badly. This time around I have these acne like bumps on the ouside lips of my vagina. What are these bumps? They are a little painful when pressure is put on them, and the best way I can describe it as just a few cystic pimples. can a yeast infection cause a rash due to moisture and friction?

    Answer

    Usually a yeast infection does not cause bumps. These sound like something else might be going on. I think you should go to your doctor or clinic and get checked out.
