How The Lump Under Skin Can Be Treated?

I have a pea size lump way under the skin on my bikini line. It has been there a few moths now. Often times the swelling in it dies down to virtually nothing, but sometimes (often when I'm on my period) it increases is size again. It isn't always painful but sometimes it is.

Hi! Thanks for writing to us and sharing your health concerns regarding a pea size lump way under the skin on your bikini line.

When a person comes to my clinic with such skin nodule first of all I examine him/her and then if not confirmed about a possibility, I go for FNAC/BIOPSY TEST from the nodule!

In such cases I think of few possibilities like:

1. a reactive lymph node that gets enlarged with reaction to local infection

2. a sebaceous cyst getting infected intermittently

3. some benign skin tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma or dermatofibroma

Therefore you must see a doctor for a clinical assessment!

Hope you got the answer. Please revert back to us if any more queries.

wishing you good health!
