Noticed A Hard Lump On The Inner Labia

Hi I've recently developed this hard bump on my inner labia. At first it was painful but now not so much. Its about the size of a tic tac and it doesnt appear to be under the skin. Ive tried to drain the pus out of it but nothing changed only a bit of clear pus came out. I dont think its a STI because I havent beem sexually active for 2 years. Any information would be appreciated.

Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I a so sorry to hear about this lump. Fro the information you have provided, this is suggestive of a possible bartholin abscess or cyst. This occurs when the gland traps secretions to accumulate leading to cyst and abscess. I will suggest that you get this followed up by your OBGYN for appropriate diagnosis and management. There is no emergency right, a scheduled appointment visit would be okay. You would be managed accordingly following the final results.

I wish you well. I hope this helps you.
