Suggest Treatment For Lump In Labia Majora

I have a lump or thickening in my labia majora, on the left side about level with the clitoris. It s a painful lump but seems deep in the skin, not like a cyst or a surface pimple or anything. I can t see a doctor until at least next week but maybe you can help reassure me that it might be a benign condition. It s not near the bartholin s gland.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A painful lump on the labia majora could be due to boil, folliculitis etc.
A clinical assessment of the lesion is required.
In case the swelling is due to infectious cause, hot fomentation and antibiotic will be required to relieve the swelling.

thanks and take care
