Yes, LGV (Lymphogranuloma Venereum) can cause bumps. LGV is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the Chlamydia trachomatis bacterium. It is most commonly transmitted through sexual contact, including anal, vaginal, and oral sex, and it can be passed from one person to another even when there are no symptoms present.
The most common symptom of LGV is bumps on the genital area, anus, or inner thigh. These bumps can be red or purple in color and may appear as a single bump or as a cluster of bumps. The bumps may be filled with pus and can cause itching, burning, or pain. In some cases, the bumps may ulcerate and become very painful.
In addition to bumps, other symptoms of LGV can include fever, swollen lymph nodes, joint pain, abdominal pain, and a rash. If left untreated, LGV can cause permanent damage to the lymph nodes and other organs, including the lungs, heart, and liver.
If you think you may have LGV, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor can diagnose LGV with a physical exam and by testing for the bacteria that causes the infection. Treatment for LGV is typically antibiotics, which can clear up the infection and help prevent further complications.
