I have this lump like under the skin of my left a vaginal lip, it's almost like it's inside the skin, I've always felt it there and thought it was weird but did nothing but now it hurts like it's just like a hard pea sized bump, I can grip it but even the tiniest pinch hurts

Its basically a pimple by your vagina. I recently had one and popped it. Once I popped it, white stuff came out and thats sebum I think. Blood also came out but it didnt hurt at all. The pimple forms when the is abrasion against the hair follicles and the underwear. Its actually very common for teen girls or women to get it.

I also have a lump on my vagina. It's really scaring me! I'm only 14 and I am not sexually active, and at first I thought it was an ingrown hair. But it's gotten bigger and I'm super scared to tell my mom or anyone and it's not sore. Unless I try to pop it or anything. It doesn't have a white head or anything and I'm freaking out and I'm wondering if anyone knows what it is so I can get my concerns out of the way. It's been there for a few days now...

I think I got my first bump at about 11 years old on my upper thigh. After many years of having bumps come and go and even at times being treated for staph infections from one of these lumps finally an answer.See a dermatologist most other Dr's are not familiar and will not treat the real problem.Take the name to your Dr. It is not as uncommon as once thought many people refer to them as boils, but left untreated you could get an infection in your blood and become septic which is very dangerous. I know 2 people this happened to. Kinda embarrassing to get them in weird places but it is not as rare as Dr's once thought.

Always use antibacterial body wash.

I've started to grow (sounds gross) a lump on the side of my clit under the skin, not the lip but in between the two parts. Sometimes i feel shoting pain in and around that area. I really should get it checked out but I'm to shy to see a doctor about it. I'm just hoping it would go away but it has been getting bigger and the pains (doesn't hurt right now) are getting a little sharper. I know it aint a in grown hair. Does anyone know what else this could be?

yes..an either ingrown hair or a bartholins cyst, both will come to head and pus will come out or even a tiny bit of blood. both are nothing to be concerned about except for discomfort. if this happens again, just place a very warm cloth on the area and draw it out. just like a pimple.

This is kind icky but I used to have my nipples pierced and although I took them out almost 5 years ago the holes sometimes have white pus in them. I asked the doctor what was going on and he said that our bodies produce this discharge where ever there is holes (either man-made or pores). According to him it's kind of like a pimple but with less redness/inflamation and expelling the icky stuff gently along with washing thoroughly is ok.

coulda been an ingrown hair, I have had this before. keep checking it, if it is one and it doesnt go away then the hair is still coiled inside undder the skin. You can always check with a Dr. too. good luck!

Did the lump go away when you popped it?? It could be a hair bump. This happens sometimes. I have had this happen and it usually goes away in a day or two. However it is does not go away or gets worse, I would check with your doctor or nurse.
