Many female patients find that their labia are unexplained itchy, and upon closer observation they find many small bumps on their labia. What disease causes small pimples on the labia?

What causes small bumps on labia minora?

Genital warts are a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus that can cause local itching and pain in patients. The common sites of disease are the vulva, vagina, and perianal area. They appear as small reddish or gray papules that resemble bumps. If not examined and treated in time, they will develop and fuse to form cauliflower-like growths in the later stages. Therefore, when faced with the situation of small bumps on the labia minora, you need to pay attention to whether it is a problem of female genital warts.

In life, many people confuse pseudo-condyloma acuminatum with female genital warts. Although the symptoms of pseudo-condyloma acuminatum are similar to those of genital warts, it can also cause papules on the patient's labia, perianal area, cervix and other places, and can also cause local itching and pain. However, pseudo-condyloma acuminatum is a benign papillomavirus and is not contagious, so the treatment methods will also be different.
