Anyone else had experience with this?

35 weeks pregnant today. Had some discomfort whilst wiping after going to the toilet and spotted some blood. Grabbed a mirror and it looks like I’ve got a boil or something to the side of my vagina, not near the hole but more on like the fleshy side which I think you’d probably describe as bum cheek? Not really sure what to do about or if I need to do anything about it!

Could it be an STI? Might be worth getting it checked at a sexual health clinic just to make sure. Could also be an ingrowing hair

I’ve been with my husband for 10 years, I am certain it’s not an STI 🙈 It looks like a boil or a spot but will see a GP to make sure it’s nothing more serious

I’ve had this before, not specifically whilst pregnant. If you wax or shave it’s likely to be an ingrown hair or just a bit of skin trauma if you’re a waxer. It can be so uncomfortable but it will likely go away by itself in a few days, or at least not be painful. Try wearing loose underwear & trousers, so it’s not getting rubbed x

Could be a Bartholins Cyst? I had one with my daughter but was to the side of the entrance to my vagina.

@Rebecca oh maybe! I kinda wrote that off because they tend to be more inside. It definitely looks more spot/cyst like - got my hubby to check. Will keep an eye and mention it to the midwife next week. Wouldn’t normally worry but given the location and what’s going to be happening down there in a few weeks, I thought I’d ask around!
