Blood Blister on Vagina
Blisters and pimples on the genitals are common.
A blood blister is usually due to some infection, it may be herpes or any other STD. So, they require examination by a doctor.
Causes of Blisters Beside Herpes
In girls who are not sexually active, a clogged sebaceous gland (or a pimple) may get filled with blood to form a blister.
This may occur due to:
- Friction, from clothes or movements
- Improper clothing
- Stress or poor nutrition
- Poor hygiene
Management
- Firstly, wear loose clothing down there. Let your under clothing be of cotton fabric.
- Avoid friction over the blister as far as possible.
- Keep the area clean and dry. Clean it twice a day with plain water, no soaps.
- Blisters usually subside on their own with time. If they become painful, apply mupirocin ointment over them.
Hello, I noticed that I have a hard bump on the inside lip of my vagina. It is not red it does not hurt or have a smell does not it itch. Some pus came out on its own. The bump is not opened. What could this be and how do I treat this.
I have a few red/ purple blister like lumps on the inside lip of my vagina can you help please?
Are you sexually active? Any itching or burning over it?
I was taking a shower and noticed this purple/ clear filled “pimple?” it has what looks to be some slight bruising near it and feels sore if i touch it i have no idea what this could be.
Could be a blood blister. Just keep the area clean and avoid friction over it.
Can you get blood blisters on your vagina lips from masturbation?
Frictional rub may be a cause.
I have a blood blister purple in colour been there months on labia area, an have two purple dots under skin not far from it, it’s started to rub now like friction the main one. Any ideas
Sounds benign. THey’re likely to go on their own with time. Just avoid friction over them.
I have several 7 or. 8 dark blisters in the inside lips of my vagina. One broke and bled bright red blood. I am 81 and not sexually active since my husband passed. However had these for at least for 5 or years. What is the cause..thx
Do they itch, increase in size or number? Any redness around them?
I noticed a red blood blister on the inside lip of my vagina and it was kind of itchy and a little bit painful. After two days I noticed the middle started getting white, and now the whole thing is white and it is not pus. Is it infected? And it hurts pretty bad now. Especially to pee.
Yes, this one appears infected. Try warm compress over it. This may help draining it. However, be gentle, do not force drainage.
You may start using a topical antibiotic cream over it. Mupirocin/ bacitracin etc. may be used.
Blood blisters on the outside of vagina on lips and a couple on inner part of lips. One broke last night and think dark red blood came out. I do have hsv1 and 2. I also did have surgery 2 weeks ago and noticed a lot of burning and itching after 24 hours i went home. Is this normal?
This is a part of the disease process you’re undergoing. This needs treatment.
I have a very small bump on labia after I wore tight clothing. Was not painful or itchy, maybe a little tender when you press down very hard. Not tender anymore. It was tender for barely a day. Today I popped it and blood came out. no pain. bump has decreased a lot. almost flat now. i dont know what it is.
Hi have what looks like a blood blister on the inner lip for several years now. I’ve had it looked at and my doctor said it was a blood mole? Lately it has gotten a little bigger and it popped. Now it will not stop bleeding. I’ve been tested and I’m clean so I am very confused on what this is.
You need to see a surgeon and get this mole cauterized to stop bleeding.
Hi, I’ve been having excessive discharge the past 7 months and it tends to be yellowish color when seen on the panty liner. I was wondering what would that be? Bacterial vaginosis?
Also, i was going to have my “first time” with my boyfriend, but as he was trying to penetrate, there was a sharp pain down there. Could that be related to the discharge? Because I’ve been seeing redness inside the entrance of my vagina. Thank you
It’s an infection in your vaginal tract. Needs to be checked up. Appropriate antibiotics are required.
Good day
I am a 19 tears old girl .
I have realised that my left vaginal lip is swallowen , painful and also my vagina is itchy and on that very same lip blood comes out when I go to the toilet to urinate or do number 2 I will find blood also in the toilet wen I wipe myself it shows that the blood comes from the lip I haven’t seen any cut in it but I suspect there is because you will even find that the blood has clots
I am just worried wat could be the cause and wat is wrong
Are you sexually active? Let us know for diagnosis.
Avoid washing the area with any soap or gel. Just clean it gently with water and start applying any emollient over it. This is to avoid dryness there.
I get these blood blisters on and around vaginal lips if you lightly squeeze it dark red blood comes out. I am not sexually active what could it be?
How many are they? Any increase in number? Any pain, itch or burning sensation over them?
Usually just one at a time. Seem to get them more often now than before. Sometimes they are painful.
Likely to be blood filled pimples/ clogged glands. Just keep the area clean and dry. Wear loose lowers to avoid friction over them.
Over the painful ones, you may start applying an antibiotic ointment thrice a day, like mupirocin/ bacitracin.
Hello Doctor,
I am a 22 yr old virgin girl. I have notice a bump on the side of the labia majora, it is almost near the panty line. I notice it 2 days back, it is quite painful. But today, I saw a tiny dot of blood from the bump. What should I do? Do i have to press it and try to drain it? or should i simply clean/wipe with some betadin srub. I am quite worried.
Try warm compress over it twice dialy. This may soften the bump and help in drainage over a few days. You need to be gentle, do not force drainage.
Also, you need to start applying an antibiotic cream over it thrice daily. Mupirocin/ bacitracin may be used.
I have these vaginal bumps that start of small then grow in size with blood inside of it. It’s on my outer vaginal lips and it won’t go away.
Are you sexually active? If yes, better get yourself examined. This may be an STD.
Hello,
I’m sexually active and got tested before and after I had been with my new partner. We had a lot of sex over 4 days. 2 days after he left I noticed a really really small blood blister looking like bump on the inner lip of my vagina. No pain at all or any other syptoms. Im really worried what it could be.. it’s a red purple tent and not really even raised.
If it’s a single lesion, it’s unlikely to be an infection. May be a clogged gland. You may leave it such as. Likely to regress on its own.
However, if it increases in size, becomes painful or multiplies in number, do let us know.
I have a rather large dark red lump down below the sides directly on the entrance to my vagina. It is tender and somewhat sore. I have not been sexually active for 6 years.
Could be an infected gland, that has got swollen. Need to see a gyne at the earliest. May require antibiotic treatment.
I have a lot of blood blisters on my vagina not inside my lips or anything but like around my area, and ima Virgin but I don’t know what to get or what to do
How big are they? Do they bleed/ pain/ itch?
On the outside of my Vagina on the skin I have blood blisters, that I thought were ingrown hairs but the keep going down then popping up and I’ve had this for two years. They come and go as they want also I’m not sexually active. I want to know what it is and how to get rid of them.
Unlikely to be ingrown hair, unless you shave over that area.
Blood blisters commonly arise from friction over skin surfaces. Just wearing lose and airy bottoms may solve the problem.
I have one very small blood blister right outside my left vagina opening that looks like a mole but is raised. It does not hurt or anything, it’s just there. It appeared last week a day after I had quite a lot of sex with my boyfriend, and it has been there for about 10 days now. Should I be worried? I’m really worried that this would be an STD but from what I know if that was an STD it should have manifested already ?
Unlikely to be STD, since this one is solitary and gives no symptoms.
May have occurred due to friction during sex. It’s likely to go away on its own.
Just avoid friction over it. Wear lose cotton lowers to help it heal.
I noticed today blood blisters on the inside of my lip vagina. Doesn’t hurt when I pee, but does itch.
Your age? Are you sexually active?
I just noticed several tiny red bumps on my outer labia. They look like blood blisters but do not hurt at all. I did have lots of treatments for hpv years ago and a patito al hysterectomy 5 years ago. Don’t currently have a gyn so feeling pretty anxious about this
Any itch, redness over surrounding area?
I had a blood filled blister on my minora , it got bigger and busrted out in 6-7 days , but after 3-4 days there is still some swelling and iching , i had taken antibiotics earlier for its cure. This bump appeared after 20 days when i got intimate and that was my first time.Shall i get myself checked for an STD?
Unlikely to be an STD. You may continue with the antibiotic course. This one is likely to be better with treatment.
I am 21 year old ,
I got intimate for the first time and after 20 days there was a red bump on m labia minora. It got bigger and got bursted in 6-7 days , it was blood filled and cause alot of pain and burning. I was taking antibiotics and painkillers for its cure. Its been 3-4 days but there is still swelling and a bit iching. Shall i get myself checked for an STD?
It’s likely to go always you complete your antibiotic course. Does it show a head? If yes, you may also try warm compress over it, twice daily. This may help it drain.
There are a few tiny red bumps out side my vagina, they don’t hurt or anything but I’ve had them for a few years now and when I squeeze one only blood comes out..suggestions please
May be related to tight clothing or friction due to long sessions of movements down there.
My blood blister took 2 week to burst and then after another week it reappeared. I dont understand the reason , i am taking antibiotics and applying cream but there is pain. If its not STD related can these reappear?
Most of those which are infected tend to re appear. You need to keep applying an antibiotic cream over it. Also, keep the region clean.
I am sexually active but am married and have been with same partner for 4 years. I have a blood blister inside my labia minora and it doesn’t hurt it felt a bit tender a couple days ago as if I had a cut. No itchiness, i do see some faint blood when I wipe but that’s about it. I’m really worried. How should I treat it?
You may leave it as such. It’s likely to heal on its own with time. Just avoid friction over it.
I was on an antibiotic. Which caused a lot of discharge after which appeared like a yeast infection. I get BV a lot. But it wasn’t like that. So I got Monistat 3. First day everything fine. Now I am on the second day and I have orange discharge and I’m bleeding, I shouldn’t start my period for 2 weeks. However I am cramping a little. What could this be?
Thanks.
Do you have any itch/ rashes or redness down there?
Orange discharge may be BV again. However, nothing can be said until confirmed by a culture.
Hi I’m 34 years old and been married for 8 years. I do have herpes but rarely have outbreaks. I just had twins 6 months ago and I noticed shortly after I had them I got a blood blister on my vagina. I thought it was odd but figured maybe I somehow pinched it or something and it went away after a couple of weeks. Then about a month after that I got another one which again I thought was weird but a couple of weeks later it went away. And last week I found 3 of them down there!!! Now I’m really really worried! I have only had sex once since my twins were born, my clothes are never tight so I don’t understand why this keeps happening. There is no burning, itching, pain or foul smell. Any idea what is happening?
Since you’ve recently got kids, it’s likely that your body is depleted of essential nutrients. As the immunity declines, there are chances for Herpes to recur.
Eat healthy to boost up your immunity. If required, vitamin supplements may be taken.
Exact diagnosis requires a physical check up.
I have a single bump on my labia major. It is painful only if touched or rubbed. In this area there isn’t much hair and around it there is. I believe I irritated it while examining it and now it looks similar to a blood blister, itches slightly and almost feels like a small cut. Nothing comes out of it. I’ve been with the same partner for 4 years and I can’t imagine it being an STD but I’m not sure why it is painful and itches.
May have become infected, and hence the pain. You may start applying any antibiotic cream over it, thrice daily. Let us know if it improves.
Recently I discovered some dark spots on my inner vaginal lips. It doesn’t pain or burn or anything once in a while it may itch but not an uncontrollable itch. Am I infected or something
Likely to be pimples. Keep the area clean and well aerated to avoid them. Eating healthy in a long run would help their recurrence.
have had little blood blister like spots inside labia for most of my life, darker skin under my clitoris different colour to other skin it’s sort d a browny splotchy colour when the rest of the skin is pink, there are lots of these little spot things but only blood is inside them and they are flat and don’t hurt, i do not have any sti’s and they are not caused by friction, can’t go to a doctor, any suggestions ?
In your age, they’re more likely to be pimples/ clogged glands, that become blood filled.
Keeping the area clean and well aerated would help. Also, you need to eat healthy and take plenty of water. Do you have pimples elsewhere over your body?
I am sexually active with clean screenings and been with my husband for 2 years. 4 days ago I began feeling pain on my labia, i felt a palpable lump. I have been in antibiotics for tonsillitis so i believe I have a yeast infection as well, yesterday it swelled so large walking hurt. I applied pressure and burst it. It appeared a clump of hard puss and the rest was blood. I presses it until the size diminished. Should i be concerned about it being hsv I had that was doormant?
Unlikely to be HSV.
Just keep the area down there clean. Avoid friction over the affected part. Likely to heal fast with time.
I’m in my early 40’s been married for 11 years and no std’s. My husband and I haven’t been intimate lately. I had a hysterectomy a few years ago due to anemia and heavy vaginal bleeding. I went to the bathroom first thing this morning and was surprised by blood pooling in the toilet. After examining, I found a reddish/purple/brownish bump on my labia that was bleeding profusely. It isn’t raised and I haven’t had any itching or pain. I didn’t even know the bump was there. It took a lot to get the bleeding stopped. It’s bled a few more times throughout the day when I’ve messed with it. I had my husband look and he says it looks like a blood blister. Any idea what’s going on?
Have you had anything similar in the past?
Buddy MD, I’m not sure if you are replying to me… but I don’t remember having anything in the past that is similar.
Could have been a ruptured veins there. You may get sagged veins down there. This is more common in people to stand for long hours or strain at stools or work.
However, an exact diagnosis requires a physical exam. It’s advisable to get it checked up by a doctor.
I am not sexually active I haven’t shave for a month and it isnt a bump its more just a little blood under the skin between my vagina and leg.
I am not sexually active I haven’t shave for a month and it isnt a bump its more just a little blood under the skin between my vagina and leg and i just got done with my period im 17.
May have occurred due to friction between the two. You may leave it as such. It would regress on its own.
Okay thank you
Welcome.
I have these hard bumps all over my labia. Nothing comes out if putting pressure on them most of the time. Every once In a while you will find one that will have a chunky white pus. There are always about 30 or more and they come and go in different spots. I have been checked for STD and am clean and this has been going on as long as i can remember…
Could be multiple pimples. This could be related to your lifestyle and diet. You may read here about getting multiple pimples.
I had one bump near my vaginal lips and clit a day after shaving it was whitish yellow and as soon as I touched i started to squeeze it popped and whitish yellow cane out there was also like a hard bit of white that came out towards the end it didn’t hurt at all. I didn’t even feel it. But I just was worried if it was from shaving or something else. I don’t see a hair to where It could of been an I grow hair. However after popping there is no pain or burning or anything but it left an open hole from popping it. Should I be worried?
Could have been a clogged gland over there that drained itself after shaving.
Nothing to worry. Just keep the area clean and dry. Avoid friction over the lesion till it heals completely.
I have a blood blister type lump on my labia minora. It it sore to touch and the area underneath it is swollen but not painful. It has gradually grown in size over the past few weeks. I am 29 years old and never been sexually active. Does this warrant a trip to the doctors or will it go away by itself?
It may burst open and drain. Nothing to worry.
However, if it pains, you may need antibiotics.
I have many what looks like black raised blood blisters on my labia. I have previously had 1 or 2 and had a bleed from them at times. Then they don’t bother me anymore. So I was shocked to see so many yesterday. Some of them look like a bunch of cauliflowers. Obviously they have not been bothering me.
I am 59yrs old and have not had intercourse for approximately 4 years.
I only noticed the MANY blisters yesterday as I had pain in the area, felt like burning and hot (thought I would just check as I am allergic to Latex (anaphylaxis with ingestion) and had just worn a new swimsuit)
The pain and burning is still present, but this feels like the same burning when I have touched latex. I have taken my meds for allergy and also been using cold compresses to relieve the current burning/paining situation.
Needs to be examined physically by a doctor for diagnosis. Likely to be an infection.
Thank you for your response. All cleared up after allergy treatment. I have absolutely NO more of these visible, not even a trace of the blood blister.
You’re welcome.
39, no kids, married and cleanly tested a few years ago,
Noticed some tiny black/brown spots on outer lip of vagina and few inside that seem a little darker- hubs says they have been there for ages and no changes but am losing my mind with worri. No bigger than a pin head and slightly raised. No pain or itching or anything. Help?’
Could be clustered pigmentation.
Physical exam required for diagnosis.
I am 19 years old. Recently I noticed a blood blister on the inner part of labia majora which was red(and seemed a little bit dark). It was a bit strong at first but then it popped and started bleeding to much (like leaking). I am not and I have never been sexually active. I am worried about that because it hasn’t happened before to me. What can I do? How can I treat that?
Is it single or in clusters? If single, there’s nothing to worry.
Just keep maintaining good hygiene down there. It would go away on its own.
Hi I notice today an small blood blister, it pain if I touch it or move it, is just one, close to the vagina where the labia majora connect with the labia minora, I have good hygiene, I have being 1 year with my partner, it’s the first time these appear, 4 months ago I took test for std, a test that diagnose all and all was ok, but I am supper concern about these tiny blood blister.
Thank you
Doesn’t sound worrisome. May have appeared due to friction there. You may leave it as such. Likely to regress with time.
However, be watchful. If you notice more of such lesions appearing there, further evaluation may be needed.
Blood blister appeared by my vagina after having sex with my husband of 3 years and then shaving and cutting myself. Felt some pain with friction during sex at the time due to not being clean shaven down there initially. I’m assuming it’s from a combination of those things but just want reassurance.
Likely to be caused by friction, as you feel. Wait for some time. It’s likely to regress on its own.
I have several “blood blisters” on my vagina. Some are small and some are bigger/more raised than others. This happened after a bad/aggressive Brazilian wax years ago. I am not sexually active and do not have any STDs. They do not itch or hurt but are not pleasant to look at and on rare occasion the larger ones will burst due to heat/humidity and rubbing. I do not wear tight clothing or underwear because of them and want to know if they can be cauterized so that they no longer show or bleed?
Yes, you may cauterize them, if you wist to. However, this is usually not required. They’ll regress on their own with time. You just need to avoid friction/ rubbing over them. You may apply any emollient to soothe skin out there. If any of them pains or grows in size, mupirocin antibiotic ointment may be smeared over it, twice daily.
Small blood blister on labia noticed after an indoor triathlon (running, rowing, cycling) … could this be related to injury/friction?
Very likely to be due to repeated rubbing there. Would fad away on its own with time.
I recently noticed three small what looks like to be blood blisters on my labia majora. One is like a hard under the surface. Thought it was a zit when I first felt it. When I investigated further that’s when I noticed the purple color and found two more. What could this be?
May have arisen due to friction/ tight bottoms. Just wear loose cotton clothings. Eat healthy. Avoid junk and greasy food.
They’re likely to regress on their own.
I’ve had these little blood blisters for many many years, at least 10 years, started off as 1 then more just appeared, probably 5 or 6 now, completely on the outside. I do have a blood clotting disorder, and femoral and illiac veins are always clotted. I use to do cross fit, and told it could be from strain, I do not have an std, I am not currently sexualy active. But they been there for ever and it’d be nice when a partner is down there for them not to be there to cause questions and concerns. What can I do for treatment. They have never hurt, they get bigger and small at times but never have gone away.
I’m 42 and also type 1 diabetic.
This could be related to your clotting disorder.
You can just avoid friction over them. They’ll not grow big. Exercises promoting blood flow from the legs back towards the heart may help.
I have many blood blisters on labia majora. I noticed them in my third trimester of pregnancy in 2021. I tested positive for hsv the year before but have inly been with my husband for the last 4 years. The obgyn checked me in 2021 and said it’s just blood blisters. She popped one and it bleed. Since then, they haven’t gone away – some go away but new ones appear. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them? Are they related to hsv or pregnancy?
Could be related to pregnancy. Blood vessels around the lower abdomen tend to pool up.
Let’s wait for this phase to be over first.
I have multiple blood blisters on my labia that appeared after a sugaring hair removal. They have been there for years and I am wondering if there is a way to get rid of them? I have very fair sensitive skin and a genetic clotting issue.
Could be related to that clotting issue. Kindly let us know what medical condition is it.
