TMI Red Lumps on Bits

[Rufus200]

TMI ALERT

22 weeks. Had an itch on my outer labia, felt a lump, had a look, 2 pea size purple lumps (look like blood blisters). Traumatised and just eaten 2 jam doughnuts to calm down, 1 for each lump. WTF are they?

In growing hairs? Bartolins (sp) cyst? Blood blister? Could be a number of things, none of them much of an issue- Google for pics and see if it looks like yours.

I think you can get haemorrhoids there during pregnancy..sorry!

Piles don't appear on the labia!

Hate to tell you this but I had the exact same thing and posted a thread earlier today as I just got diagnosed with genital warts today! Am married and never had any symptoms before this so was a total shock but apparently the virus can lie dormant for yrs but getting pregnant and a change in immune system can make them come out. I had tiny very small little red lump appear on my labia which got bigger then turned more white. Then i got a few more appear around my bum.. Worth the doctor checking you out it could be something totally different. Good luck x

I've had a good look, I can't see any veins connecting to them. I've since found a tiny brown dot nearby that looks like a tiny mole and then on the other side 3 more brown dots but none are raised like the 2 big ones.

Vulval varicose veins , I was lucky enough to get them in pregnancy , thank god they disappear as soon as you give birth .

Piles don't appear on the labia!

I hate to tell you but they do - and there's a thread about them here - I had them in my second pregnancy, very uncomfortable, they ached and itched.

But I'm not saying this is what OP has.

That's not a pile. Piles are by definition elsewhere. It's a varicose vein. And yes, they are fairly common on the vulva during pregnancy. But they don't sound like what the OP is describing.

I get the Bartholins cysts from time to time and it does sound like that - they can be itchy and a little painful if they're large. Get it checked out by your GP. If it is a Bartholin cyst, you may not need any treatment - you can just massage them a bit in the shower and they usually drain by themselves.

Yes, you're right eurochick, they are different.

I had shingles in that area, it was very painful as well as itchy. Could it be that?

I've been to the Dr and they are blood blisters caused by venous congestion, nothing to do with varicose veins but I am more likely to develop them as the circulation is poor down there. They are unlikely to disappear on their own and I may get more. Will have to have burnt off after baby arrives.
