Lump on inner labia...what's going on?

[Anonymous]

for the past 3 days I've had this lump on my inner labia. its about the size of a pea and its shaped like a ball. there's no pain no itchyness just annoying to look and feel. there's no color either and it doesn't seem like I have an infection. everything else down there is fine no irregular discharge nor smell, everything is fine. its just this random bump with no head (like a pimple would) what is it and will it go away? :(

getting an examination from your doctor is your best bet, you can try going on web MD, or googling your symptoms but chances are it's not going to be very accurate. It could just be anything from an ingrown hair, a cyst, a storage of fatty tissue/scar tissue or maybe some sort of STI...there's a lot of possibilities.

I don't specifically have experience with this, but I do work in medical/Oral Surgery Clinic and have come across a lot of strange pathology. The general rule with anything out of the ordinary is to wait 2 weeks and see if it goes away. If it does, then just keep an eye on things to make sure it doesn't come back. In the meantime while you're waiting out those 14 days consider this-

Is it getting bigger?

Is it "fixed" or can you move it around under your skin when pressing on it?

Is there pain, swelling, redness, or sensitivity to the touch?

Have you developed any cold symptoms such as sore throat, fever, chills, drowsiness, or nausea?

If you answer YES to any of these go in immediately to get it checked out. If after two weeks nothing has changed get it checked out as well just to be safe.

It's probably a skin tag. There are loads of ways to remove it, but I've never had one so I don't know which works best.

I had a bump, and I just squeezed it and it went away.

You should call your gyno and see what they say.
