Q: Vulval infection: white bumps on vaginal surface

asked by: DoctorQuestion on February 5th, 2007

I have been getting bumps on the surface of my vagina as well as in the space between my vagina ad my anus they come and go. I also had small white bumbs in the lips of my vagina but that also went away. I have been having sex with the same person for 2yrs and he has had no signs or symptoms of anything.I still get the bumps on the surface of my vagina weather I shave or not and I also have a foul odor , I had a discharge but that also came and left but the odour remained. Can u tell me what can possibly be wrong?

According to the description of “white bumps that come and go on the surface of the vagina, its lips and in the space between vagina and anus” and a “foul odor”, you could be experiencing a vulval infection but a more precise diagnosis can’t be given at this time without an examination.
You can consult a gynecologist or a dermatovenerologist for a correct diagnosis and proper treatment. Your partner should be also examined.
