How To Remove Lump From Labia?
8 month old daughter with marble size lump in left labia. hard with a white head when squeezed, however nothing will come out. she is show very little discomfort and has no signs of infection. i.e fever or other rash. she has yellow mucus from the nose. and a little cough. but so do the rest of the family. please let me know if these cysts that I am reading about are also possible in babies. I read about a ovary needing to be put back in place and that freaked me out a little. please give me as much info as you can. knowledge is power.

Hi.
Thanks for an elucidate history.
Your baby has two issues.
1. lump from the labia add she is just 8 months old.
This can be a dermoid hence not tender and has to be excised properly by a Surgeon. Do not squeeze at all.
2.Yellow mucus from nose. This is infected and needs active treatment with an antibiotic and decongestant. In fact anyone in the family with yellow mucus should need treatment. Yellow is infection.
I hope this answer helps you get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
