Expert Medical Information

The appearance of pimples on the labia minora may indicate the presence of sebaceous gland inflammation, particularly when small sebaceous cysts develop secondary inflammatory reactions. This can lead to noticeable redness and swelling. In cases where the inflammation is more severe, it may even result in pus formation.For such conditions, anti-infection treatment is typically required. Topical application of Fusidic Acid Cream or Mupirocin Ointment is commonly recommended. Additionally, oral antibiotics may be prescribed, with options including Roxithromycin, Cefuroxime Axetil, or Cefalexin.During treatment, it is crucial to maintain proper local hygiene and avoid squeezing the affected area with your hands. Furthermore, it is advisable to refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods during this period.
