Subject: blood blister on the entrance to my vagina?
> I am 19 years old & sexually active with my first & only partner who is
> my boyfriend.
>
> About 2 weeks ago, when I noticed that I had vaginal discharge (I was
> down there looking at myself - the discharge was later found to be
> bacterial vaginosis), I also noticed I had a bright red bump on the
> entrance to my vagina with alittle extra irritation spreading outwards
> like a bruise or blood blister.
>
> I thought that maybe it was just irritation & thought it would go away,
> but it is still there now. It has not scabbed up or oozed out puss or
> anything. It is right on the inside/edge of the vaginal entrance, not
> on the lips, looks red, and the tissue looks alittle swollen, or maybe
> torn/irritated. It is also tender to the touch. But does not hurt or
> itch.
>
> Could this be something bad like herpes or a gental wart? Or maybe just
> a regular blister (if there are such things)?
>
> I do look at it occationally, so I may keep making it worse myself from
> just spreading myself open all the time in order to get a good look.
