What Causes A Bump On The Labia Majora?

default
Posted on Wed, 8 Mar 2017
Question: hi i am a 27 year old women. last month around 22nd i had a smal bump in the right labia majora. an MBBS friend told me that it may be a labial sebaceous cyst or a chronic infection. she gave me course of cotrimoxazole (bactrim ds) antibitioc and sodium fusidate ointment. the bump though reduced in size, but it was no gone. it did not irritate or pain but some times the area around it used to itch. i tried hot compress and after 1-2 weeks a small white tip came up which upon pressing gave out white powdery substance at first and white odourless liquid later on. by doing this the bump is 90% gone but it feels to the hand while wiping. what happened after giving white compress was that skin began to come off from the area and almost all of the vagina. now my vagina has become very dry. there is no lubrication (im supposed to ovulate now) and the discharge watever negligible i get has a curdled consistency with no smell and is very less. another fact is that i got my urine culture reports which show more than 1lakh e.coli cfu but i dont have any burning or irritation while peeing or have any fever. i am reallya t wits end as to what to do. the left labia minora itches sometimes and the dryness feels extremely uncomfortable. i am a virgin and do msturbte at times

Brief Answer:
Estrogen ointment

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Dryness of the vagina is most likely due to the sodium fusidate ointment which you have used for the lesion.
The lesion is the bartholin cyst, which is chronic and recurring.
You should not worry for lubrication, as it will improve after the next periods.
If you are feeling excessively dry, then you can use estrogen ointment like evalon in the vagina.
Itching in the recurrent bartholin cyst is common and you should consult an OBGYN specialist for proper examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

The itch us not near the cyst or where it occurred. It is near the labia minora. Do I have any yeast infection?
