What Does A Painful Lump At The Vaginal Opening Indicate?
I recently noticed a knot at the vaginal opening and it is painful with intercourse. today with a mirror, I checked myself and there is a black spot at the vaginal opening. I do have an appointment with my Gynecologist next week but this has me alarmed.

Hi,
Painful lump could be due to hair follicle infection, infected sebaceous gland, cyst like bartholin's cyst, vesicle. Clinical examination is must for diagnosis. I would suggest to consult gynecologist and undergo examination to confirm cause.
Meanwhile take following advises:
- Apply Bacitracin ointment. Take tablet Iboprufen
- Take frequent warm bath
- Apply warm pad application
- Wear pure cotton loose inner and maintain proper pelvic hygiene
- Keep area clean and dry ad avoid sweats
Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.
Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
