i recently noticed that my vaginia was very red when i was in the shower because when i was washing myself i noticed a discomfort. i checked and my vaginia is very red and swollen. I also noticed what looks like very small bumps, mainly to the right side. I also have what looks like cuts inside of my vaginia. Kinda like its chapped or something, like your hands get in the winter. The cut like features i have had on and off for awhile and i am just now noticing the bumps. If you have any idea what this could be please let me know. thanks.

 Hello,
This could be vaginitis. The 3 most common causes of vaginitis are bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis (yeast infection) and trichomoniasis.[1] Vaginal discharge may also result from sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea or chlamydia.
This is usually accompanied by discharge and/or itching.
You need to be evaluated by your doctor.
Best regards.
