ingrown hair, cyst ?
by abbie7788, Mar 07, 2005 12:00AM
Hi,
About 10 days ago I noticed a bump under the skin on my labia majora. It was smaller than pea sized and tender to the touch. Unfortunately, I felt the need to try to pop it and in doing so it bled a little. I put alcohol on it, not too smart-burned like hell. Now the bump is gone, the skin is raw and seems to be a little watery. I'm making myself crazy thinking that this is syphillis. I've been with my parter for 4 months and he's had physicals and surgery in this time and also no symptoms. Any ideas? thank you.

This doesn't sound like syphilis or any other STD. I think you had a zit, or an infected sebaceous cyst.
