I have something like that too! Iv been looking up what it could be all day. I have a 2 lumps on the left side close to where I pee, on the extra skin. And one on the right. And it wasn't there at all until today I noticed it. It is hot and burns when I pee, and is uncomfortable. I want to go to the doctor but I want to try and figured it out before I go though. Anyone maybe know what it iss??

be careful. i had this exact thing and mine was mrsa. now you may not have that strain of staph, but what you explain (puss filled lump with a whitehead) is a boil that you are getting. a boil is a staph infection which usually requires an antibiotic. the worst thing you can do is squeeze it or take any sharp object to it, it will make the infection worse and more widespread!
please leave the lump alone and see a doctor and let he/she properly lance it.

So i have two lumps on my labia majora and at the beginning there was only one and it was hard and under the skin and not that painful just when you squeezed it. Now i have two and the first one is dime size on the top of my skin and hurt super bad. i used the whole heat pad trick and it just made it hurt worst. But i know for a fact its not an ingrown hair. Does anyone know what i can do to make them go away?

I have a lot of pain it started yesterday but today it got really bad and hurt in my upper inner thigh. I thought it may be a hemroid but I am not really sure if it's a pimple. I shave but haven't for a couple weeks. I do remember a couple months ago I got an ingrown hair and it hurt so bad for even a couple weeks after. The ingrown hair must have been really bad because it was so swallen and red even after i pulled the hair out. Right now it's closer to my vagina then my rectum. it's not inside either my rectum or vagina. I hope this makes since. It actully sometimes hurts when I pee because since I am a female the pee hits it. I take prescription meds to help me poop and I get bladder botox for peeing frequently and not being able to go that much. I wasn't sure if i got this from squeezing to try to make sure my bladder is empty or not? This is my 1st post so i hope I am doing this correctly.

Thank you guys so much! I had a bump and had no idea why. It hurt so bad, I didn't even want to walk. I had a huge event planned for the next day, and couldn't afford to miss it! My best friends WEDDING! so I read this page, took a hot bath and the swelling went down almost right away. After I got out, it popped. It was pretty gross, all red and *****. But it worked! Thanks again!

I have a round hard little lump beneath the skin on my labia minora (toward the backside area)... my lump is able to move around under the skin... is that normal? or is this something different.... when I squeeze it between my fingers it gives that sensation that you get when you are little and you are losing a tooth, that itchy satisfying slight pain that you get when you wiggle your loose tooth back any forth.... does this sound like a cyst? thanks for all the info so far!

I have two bumps around my clitoris. They were small at first but now one has become very swollen and it hurts so much I could cry. I've tried sitting in a hot bath but that doesn't work. I finally got fed up with it and popped it. The sore was under the skin before but now that I have popped it, it has become an open sore. What is it and what should I do? Is it an ingrown hair? Or an Std? I'm scared! Help me!

I had a bartholins gland cyst about a year ago and I have had cysts off and on since then. I found out eating 2 cloves of raw garlic a day, ibprofen for pain, and warm compresses works best for me and guess what garlic is less than a dollar. I usually mix it in food to keep from tasting the garlic so strong, do not cook the garlic cuz it'll remove the allicin in it which is a natural antibiotic. Lets just say I wish I googled natural remedies before spending hundreds to see a doctor. lol Also tee tree oil or a garlic paste applied to it for 10 min should work to help drain. Never rub, squeeze, or press down hard on a cyst because it'll make it worse. Don't use scented soaps. If you are experiencing pain it is an abcess (abscess) cyst the remedy will work but you might want to go to doctor to make sure there isn't a serious infection causing the cysts to occur. I hope this helps God Bless!

Hi I've been trying to diagnose myself for the past four days and I've only gotten worse. Currently my entire vagina is swollen from inner lips, to outer and clitoris.

Five days ago my boyfriend and I had sex, it was rough and I should've stopped but continued anyway (stupid I know). Day 1. I woke up the next day with my vagina crazy itchy, I couldn't stop rubbing it to get relief, not wanting to scratch and cut myself, masturbating is the only relief.

Day 2. Next day was worse, irritation was unbelievable and my skin was raw and dry. So dry it cracked. And now my cliteris and inner lips were beginning to swell.

Day 3. I couldn't take it anymore, I figured I was itchy due to the dryness, so I put lube. It helped. I was moist again, only now my cliteris and inner lips stood the same. I figured they were sore because of the constant rubbing. So I took the pain and left it alone.

Day5. I woke up today feeling hopeful. Negative. I left my vagina alone, as the day progressed the itchy intensified, so I bought 'bourdreax's butt paste' (diaper rash ointment) the zinc oxide percentage is 40% I figured that would relieve. I wipe with a baby wipe after I pee, let dry, then put the ointment on
It's been 5hours since and I now feel a bump on my inner lip near my butt, if that makes sense. I'm in more pain now, and every part is swollen

I don't know what to do. I don't want to go to the doctor because I don't money but if I have to I will.

Can anyone please tell me what is going on and how to sooth this.
I know it's not an STD because my boyfriend and I have been tested and are each others first. I don't think it's a yeast infection because there is no odor or stuff coming out of it. I don't know what to do.

I have a bump on the outer part of my vagina, its neutral colored and i wouldn't be able to tell it was even there if i didn't feel it. It feels like a clump of muscle rather than a cyst, and it comes and goes, never completely vanishing only diminishing in size. If i could get some help of any one knows what it might be?

I have quite a large lump in the same place its very sore, underwear rubs on it, and it stings a little when I wee! I really want it to go, will not pop it myself and don't want to go to the doctors is there nothing else I can do?

To: kristyoxo

I have the same problem, although mine doesnt sting. It gets quite irritated however, when my underwear line touches it. Anyways, I have been take hot showers and placing warm wet towel on it gently massaging it kinda. I noticed it has shrunk into a size of a pea ball from a cherry and its much more soft as it was hard. There is nothing to worry about! just make sure you do clean yourself and place a hot-warm towel on it for about 15 mins like 2-3 times a day. If your lump is inflated you should switch between cold and warm wet towels. Also, i took an IB profin to help it become less inflated. :) hope it helps

If they r like mine that came out of no where... they r cysts. I put hot wash clothes on them and they would burst and bleed after a few days of doing that a few times a day. That lasted a few years and then went away as they came.

I went to the hospital for a lump that I felt in the walls of my vagina. I f I stood up too long or walk around to much, it would start aching really bad and I would have to sit down (slowly). The NP came in the hospital room, checked me out herself (felt around down there) and said I had an abscess. She said that it had to be drained or it was just going to get bigger, but not burst. I thought that she was going to get the doctor, but instead came back with an intern/student. She numbed me and started to cut and push. She cut me again and pushed some more. Then she cut me again, it felt like a paper cut, and pushed some more but harder. Ouch! My fiance was with me. He saidthat nothing but blood came out. There was no puss, no smell, nothing. She put a thin guaze in me and some larger white ones, told me to take a sitz bath, an that they were still waiting on my pregnancy test and left out of the room. My fiance is worried that she used me as a guinea pig. What should we do?

Hello, I'm 17, With a common problem with the bumps like you guys, but the bump i have on the left side of my vagina hurts very bad and stings. It would start out as this blister looking bump, and then grow into this big bump or pimple (whatever it is) and then it will pop on it's own. It gets puss in it, and it leaves little blood stains on my panties.When it did bust the swelling went down but, it's still there and hurts. I had it on the right side of my vagina before, and it went away..but, i'm curious to know what the hell are these bumps coming from, and what can i do to prevent? I can't even sit down without it hurting or stinging, i hate when my panties touch it, and when i walk i have to limp. I've only shaved my hair once before, a while ago, and i never got a bump after i shaved, it was smooth. And i'm not sexually active at all! And it lasts for like a week! SOMEONE HELP!!!!!

The pain got worst, so I went back to the hospital. I had fluid build up and possible meningitis. I had to get a spinal tap and they had to drain the fluid. They put me asleep for both processes. When I went on 12/02, the NP did not give me an ultrasound. She just went to cutting me open. Well she missed where she was suppose to cut, which caused the cyst to flare up. Can you say mal-practice?!? Thank God I am okay.

You should go to the Emergency room, if you don't have any money. Tell them what happened. They will bill you later. Some hospitals even have finacial aid to help with your bill. Just please go somewhere instead o trying to do it yourself. Better safe than sorry. God bless and good luck.

It sounds like your having an out break of some kind. As with any medication, if you get new symptoms or if your symptoms become worst, you must stop using the product and seek medical attention. You can go to the Emergency room if you have no funds. God bless and good luck.

Hi girls, i had a big lump on the outside of my vagina, went insane looking things up, tried the hot water trick, it didn't seem to work and got really painful so i made an appointment with my doctor for this morning, Surprise Surprise, it burst this morning in the shower, and it's practically gone! :) It was gross, so i recommend hot water on stand by girls! But you should always get it looked at after because you don't want it getting infected again!!! I'll porst what my doctor said today :)

Hi. Oddly enough, I had a really bad yeast infection once and when I scratched-- even through my panties-- I broke the skin just a tiny little bit and it got infected. It felt like a knot in the skin in the labia. It didnt hurt at all but it freaked me out. The doctor gave me a topical antibiotic to rub on it and told me to keep super clean and try not to scratch. Within a day the knot was much smaller and within two or so it was gone. Now when I get knots like that especially if I've been itchy for whatever reason I just use regular antibiotic ointment and they always go away. It was a knot sort of under the skin. Not like a pimple. But razor bumps and things can easily get infected too since it's a warm moist place. Icky but true.
