Suggest Treatment For Tiny Lump On Labia Majora
Possible Bartholini's cyst,genital warts;a photo is required...
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mrs. XXXX
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
1. A picture of the lump you are referring is required for a more precise opinion.
2. Anyway, as I do not have this picture, from what you are describing, I can say that the tiny lump/bump on your labia majora could be Bartholini's cyst.
However, you are saying that it is itchy from time in time, which is indicative for infection.
3. Genital warts is also to consider although they are not associated with any symptom except for rare cases where they can itch.
With regards to treatment strategy, the very first thing is to determine its nature through physical examination.
Then, the next step is deciding on therapy: if warts are confirmed, should discuss with dermatologist to get them removed.
If only Bartholini's cyst, no specific treatment is required apart keeping a good hygiene locally and wait-and-watch for other changes (infection, pus, bleeding, etc.). Only if such complications are present, specific treatment is then needed with local and oral antibiotics.
Your partner should undergo physical examination too as both of you might need treatment.
For the moment, I advise to keep good local hygiene, avoid sexual intercourse until betterment.
Hope it was of help! Let me know if you have further queries!
