To seek a second opinion?

I posted a while back having found some lumps on my labia. All along the edge on both sides, little pea sized lumps. They appear, are quite sore, don't break open, then disappear within 10 days. This has been going on for weeks now. Went to GP who said definitely not an STI (unlikely anyway as I've been tested, so unless herpes which it's not, something else is going on). The GP just said not to worry about it. That we sweat a lot in that area and it's probably just blocked glands. I haven't been sweatier than usual. I haven't changed anything. Why would I suddenly have this issue? It's driving me nuts. I suggested HS but they said no, not likely. To just live with it. Does anyone have any ideas? Would you seek a second opinion? Its very, very random and doing my head in as it is so uncomfortable.

Is there a sexual health clinic near you? It may not be an STI but they will probably be more able to advise than a GP.

That's a good shout. Thanks!

Could it be Bartholin cysts. I’m sure it can be painful if you have a flare up.

No definitely not.

@Fantasia99 it could be an autoimmune condition called Lichen sclerosus, my best friend has it and she's described something very similar to what you've described.

@Fantasia99 or Behcet's.
