Customer question:
What could a tur-sized bulla on the labia mean? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
A bulla on the labia could have several causes, and it is impossible to determine the exact cause without an examination by a doctor.
However, some possible causes are listed below:
- Inflammation of the hair follicle (folliculitis): inflammation of the hair follicle can cause bullae to form on the labia. This often happens due to a bacterial infection, which can be caused by irritation, shaving, or wearing tight clothing.
- Apocrine cystadenoma is a benign formation that can appear in the genital area. They are usually small cysts, but they can reach larger sizes in rare cases.
- Bartholin's cyst or abscess: Bartholin's glands are glands located on either side of the entrance to the vagina. A cyst or abscess may develop if the Bartholin's gland becomes blocked. This can cause swelling and the formation of bullae on the labia.
- Genital herpes: herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause an outbreak of blisters or bullae in the genital area. Blisters can be painful and may appear with an itchy or burning sensation.
- Atheroma: Atheroma is a cyst that occurs when a sebaceous duct becomes blocked. It can cause a hard lump to form under the skin.
- Other causes: Causes of a bulla on the labia may also include inflammation of the lymph nodes, lipomas (fatty growths), fibroids, or other benign or malignant growths.
