What Is The Hard Cyst Like Lump On The Mons Pubis?

I have a developed a hard red cyst like lump on the posterior aspect of the mons pubis. I had multiple ones previously and was treated with antibiotics which cleared the problem. I noticed this one yesterday when I went to take a shower. Suddenly started my period early today, not yet due. Any suggestions as to what may be going on here?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Development of hard cyst on the posterior aspect of mons pubis is commonly due to enlargement and inflammation of Bartholins gland.
Infection and inflammation of Bartholins gland causes painful swelling on the mons pubis.
However, clinical is required to rule out any other possibility.
The lesion could be due to a boil or folliculitis or furunculitis.
Antibiotic treatment will be required in any of the above mentioned conditions.
Consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management.

Thanks and take care
