BLISTER ON THE MINORA

Q: i am married and have been sexually with him and only him! i have been sexually with him for 2 years and today i found im not sure if it is swollen or a blister on my labia minora...i normally check myself when im in the shower...and yesterday i took a shower and it was not there...it is the same color as my vagina and it doesnt hurt when i walk nor wear clothes..but when i touched it, it was didnt hurt painfully..i wore gloves when i touched it...do you know what the possibilities it could be are...
A: Of course you want to rule out worse case scenario of a sexually transmitted disease. The good news is most sores associated with std's are painful like herpes. Syphilis can cause a non-tender sore, a 'chancre.' Swelling at the bottom of the labia can be a bartholin's gland cyst which is usually painful. An ingrown hair or inflammed follicle is always in the differential.

I went in to see the doctor to check for parasites in the stool, but did not ask about the effectiveness of the pill.
