Will The Growths On My Labia Become Cancerous?
I have several growths on my labia. These are white and hard. When I asked a gyn what caused them, she said usually they arise from sweat and friction. I now have about 5 or 6. I am 74 and have no sexual partner (haven t had one for many years). I take baths, not showers and for years I wore pantyhose and used talcum powder. Should I be worried that these might become cancerous.

Hello,
The lesions you are describing may or may not have cancerous potential. It is very difficult to give a definite answer without doing a physical examination and biopsy of the lesion. So please follow up with your ObGyn for necessary evaluation.
Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you have any more questions
