Blood Blister in Labia Magora
by Sapp, Jul 01, 2006 12:00AM
Last night I noticed a slight irritation in my Labia just inside the outer fold. I have felt this place for a while now and thought It was a skin tag. I shave in that area and have nicked it before. However, last night I looked at it and it is a beebee size blood blister looking spot. The best way to describe it is it feels like a beebee just under the skin. Kind of firm (not mushy soft) It is dark colored and perfectly round kind of like a beebee size blood blister but it won't bust. It does not look to have a head or anything. Just round and dark in color. It scared me to death. It has not grown recently because I have felt it for a while now. But I have never noticed up close till last night. I am worried and I can't see a doctor until after the holiday this week coming.Please tell me this is not a cancer. I am fair skinned, but have been perfectly healthy my whole life (43 yrs old)

I think this is a cyst, which is common in this area. I don't think it has anything to do with cancer. I suggest you leave it alone until you can see a doctor and get the reassurance you need to be able to ignore it.
Take care.

It sounds so much like this... that it puts my mind at ease on what it is. All though I do know that I should see my doctor on this. But it's nice to know I won't die of this tommorrow.
