Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Hard lump present on labia minora which is painful could be an infected sebeceous cyst.
Since it is not reducing by salt bath, it needs to be removed by means of minor surgery.
Taking antibiotic Clarithromycin would only bring down the infection, but it may not get rid of the lump completely.
In any case, a course of antibiotics with analgesic medications would be given following Tue procedure.
Hence, kindly consult Gynecologist or Surgeon for appropriate evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
