Painful bump

[Giovanni931]

I have a sort of large lump on my vagina lips, it hurts to sit or walk because its right at the bottom outside the vaginal area. Im a little scared becuz i was recently intamate with some one and now this lump is there. But i did shave within that same week. What do you think is the cause of this lumps apperence?

Hey guys

Sounds like a bartholin's cyst, nothing serious just something annoying and can be painful. Check out more info at:

I have almost the same problem. After being put on antibiotics for strep throat, bronchitis, and a bad bladder infection I ended up with a yeast infection(which is common on certain antibiotics) During the treatment of my yeast infection I had sores on the inside of my vagina from scratching so bad, Then a little bump (with no head or anything) appeared on my clitorous, making it so sore to touch. Again I am assuming that it was a little tear from scratching. Well the yeast infection and sores and little bump have all gone away since the treatment of my yeast infection. NOW I have 2 bumps, a little bigger than a pea, on each side of my outter lip, down close to where my butt cheeks begin. They are practically in the same spot but on each side of my lip. the bump starts on the inside of the skin. When I squeeze it i can feel it inside. The outer skin is swollen and slightly raised. They are very painful. I am married and neither of us have any STD's or for that matter cheat. I do shave and almost never wear underwear. I dont know if any of this contributes to a diagnosis of what I have. I do not have insurance and can not afford to go to the doctor and the local health department is disgusting and I refuse to go. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
