Hello Doctor,
I have a red sore or pimple near my vagina that appeared two days ago after intercourse. I used Surfaz-SZ cream but it hasn’t helped. Could you please advise what it might be and suggest any treatment?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.
1. A red sore near the vagina after intercourse can be due to irritation, ingrown hairs, blocked glands (like Bartholin’s cyst), infection, or an STI such as herpes. Since the antifungal cream hasn’t helped, fungal infection is less likely.
2. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid scratching, and apply a warm compress a few times a day. Avoid intercourse until it heals. Please see a doctor or gynecologist soon for a proper exam and treatment to ensure quick healing and rule out any serious causes.
Thanks
