Large swollen painful bump on the outer lips of vagina

[pinkchic]

Since yesterday I've had a large swollen bump on the labia majora..it's very painful, it hurts to walk or sit.  I've been putting warm cloth on it and it seemed to help with the swelling but it's still really painful.  I don't really want to go to the doctor because I just don't have the money right now, and I feel like it would be a waste if it's something that I can take care of on my own.  Anyone else ever experienced this before? What can I do to ease the pain? All I've done today is lay in bed because it hurts too much to do anything else.

It could be a hair bump, they can really hurt but check that out first.

Help! I've got a big bump on the inside of me cheek & on the back of my vagina .. It's huge.. Not something you can "pop" or that is want to.. It hurt to walk & sit & sometimes lay down .. I've been telling my mom that the reason I was walking like this was my back..  I'm still a virgin.. I try showering everyday .. But sometimes I forget & I think I'm gonna try that hot bath thing ...HELP

Ive recently had a lump exactly like this. I went to my GP and was told its something called a Bartholins cyst. Minor cases can just be treated with antibiotics, however the more serious cases have to be operated on (i was the more serious case). They put you under a general anaesthetic and make a small incision and drain it. It is usually a day case however I stayed in over night. Anyway I just got out today, and have antibiotics and lots of painkillers. Apparently they are nothing to worry about but you do need to get it checked out.

I don't think she did anything wrong. people get bumps and cysts on all types of body parts esp under the arms or near the genitals. this is how they are usually treated.
