OK, I have an unusual question.  But I guess they all are on this board. 


I cut right to the point.   After 35 years and 2 kids I have little modesty anymore ; )


I have a bump, kind of feels like a pimple or something, on the kind of edge/inside of my Labia minor (LOL, I can not remember which is minor and major,... the one on the inside)   About 2 centimeters from my clitoris.


While wiping after using the bathroom yesterday, for a second it felt like there was a grain of sand on the paper and I scraped myself.  But upon further examination I saw a little bump.  It does not have a head like a pimple but stings kind of like a blind pimple.


So my question(s) is/are - Can one get a pimple there?  Are there pours there?  Could it be something else?  At what point do I call a Doctor to check it out?  Should I give it a few days?


I would not normally be that freaked out over a little pimple, but the location has me a bit concerned.


Thanks!

Hi Pam, welcome!

Small benign growths can appear on the labia or it might be a clogged pore. If it doesn't go away in a few days it would probably be a good idea to have your doctor take a look and see what s/he thinks. It's probably nothing to worry about but it never hurts to check. Thanks for posting. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,
