itchy weirdness freaking me out!

Ok, here's the thing...every once in a while I get really itchy around the outside of my vagina and I'll notice a little lump that feels like it's underneath the skin...when I look for it in a hand mirror it's not visible i can just feel it and it's itchy. It never lasts for more than a day and only happens certain times of the month (i.e. right before my period or something). Could this be hormonal, or yeast? Or could it be something more serious? Has anyone else had experience with this sort of thing or am I some sort of freak?? I'm sick and tired of feeling like there's something wrong with my vagina, because this never used to happen to me, it just started within the past few months...help me!! I'm not due for my annual pap until November so I thought I'd check around to see if anyone could offer input!

Thanks.

First of all, your not a freak! We've all had something that's scared us before. I understand the itching. I get that every month too. Mine is yeast and it's been diagnosed. Mine is also hormone related as it starts about a week before my period.

Since you annual is soon, why not just do it now? Try to schedule your appointment so it coincides with your symptoms. That way, your doctor can actually see and test what's going on.

Take care,

Kristin
