    Bumps on vagina from wearing pad
    I've recently had a urinary tract infection and at the same time I was on period. Due to the uti I couldn't wear a tampon because it hurt way to bad. So, I had to wear a pad 24/7 during my period, which I'm not used to. I usually would only wear them at night. Well, during my period and uti, I noticed a bump/boil looking thing on the very inside of my right vagina lip. Afterward, two more came up, and on the same side, making my vagina swell up on that side. I got antibiotics for my uti and all of that is pain free now, however the bumps are still there. They went through a period of oozing something resembling puss, then went on to ooze blood. I figured the bumps/boils were just running their course? However, they have yet to go away and still look like a bump/boil. They don't hurt as bad as they did, but are still very uncomfortable. Any ideas what they could be or how to get rid of them?

    It sounds like you have something similar to a diaper rash. Granted, only a physician can tell you exactly what's wrong and could prescribe (if needed) any medication or ointment, but I know there have been many cases where women get itchy/uncomfortable rashes/bumps after using pads.

    This can happen due to the excessive moisture caused by wearing pads when your vaginal area is not accustomed to it.

    If you wore pads all the time, you would not have this problem.
