strange bump

I have a strange lump or bump or whatever you wish to call it on the inside of my inner labia. It has been there for about a year and it didn't hurt at all, so I didn't consider it a potential problem. I always checked it to see if it started growing but it didn't. It doesn't look like a pimple, its basically invisible, the only way I can describe it is that it feels like as if "something" was under my skin. About a month ago I checked on it again and I saw some kind of white-ish thing coming out of it. I squeezed it out as much as I could, the texture of it was like butter. Now I check it every week and squeeze this buttery stuff out of it, but its still not causing any pain, its not inflamed, etc. Do you have any suggestions what it could be? The hole itself (where this "stuff" comes out from) reminds me of a piercing hole, but I never had a piercing in my life.

From the location it's probably a clogged Skene's gland. Frequently they get inflamed, but yours seems to be producing a continuous thick discharge. Warming it up, say in a hot bath, is supposed to promote draining and you could try that. If you could get it drained it might go back to normal. It's not supposed to be a noticeable bump. Good luck.
