Black lump on labia
Hi, about 4 months ago I found a black mark on my labia, next to vaginal opening, it isn't painful, and hasn't changed size or colour during the time I've know it is there. Yesterday a lump appeared next to my clitorus it hurts when touched, is quite firm and is the same colour as surrounding skin. Will it go away? Is there something wrong with me? Please help I am really worried, oh and I am 15, not sure if that helps.
You are 15, therefore your labia is still developing. It could just be some color changing and change in texture. The labia can often have little bumps and be completely fine. Not all labia are smooth. Most labia are not pink. The labia can be purple, red, brown, or even black for darker ladies. Are you sure the lump isn't your clitoris? Do you know what a clitoris looks like and that it is usually covered by a clitoral hood of skin?
