What Causes Lumps On The Labia Minora?

I discovered a small round lump under the skin on the left side of the labia minora. It appeared suddenly. It varies in size as it gets bigger and smaller throughout the day, and sometimes it feels hard when pressed. It is right now painless. I have no other symptoms except for this lump. I can t get an appointment with any gynecologist and I have been trying for 2 weeks calling many different offices, but they are all booked till next year. I will see my family doctor in 1 week, but in the meantime I am worried that this is a cyst or something serious. Do you have any suggestions on what it may be and what I can do in the meantime?

thanks for sharing your health problem with us!

i think this is benign condition like Bartholin's cyst or a simple sebaceous cyst.

just take care not to get infection there and if pain occurs then apply some ice / cold compress and take antibiotics till you see your doctor.

all the best!
