lump on my labia minora

     Hi my name is Brittaney, I'm 19 years old and new to this board. I am seeking for advice and some explanation for a small lump on my labia minora. I was in the shower and I felt something unusual down there so I checked it out with a mirror. It is a little swollen, not much, but it feels like a small cyst or lump underneath the skin. It doesn't have a red, crusty, or pimply look to it. It just reminds me of a little smaller than a pea sized lump under my skin. I can feel the lump on both sides of my labia minora if I move it from one side to the other.I'm so afraid of thinking it could be herpes. I have had a few partners, only one of which ,who has had multiple partners, I've had unprotected sex with. Two months after having sexual intercourse with him, I went and got a pap smear to check for any stds or cervical cancers. I got the results back and I was clean. This was all about a year ago. I don't think I should have any reason to think I would have herpes but it does cross my mind. I am going to schedule an appt. to be examined but for now, since I just noticed this lump tonight, I thought I would ask for advice on these message boards. The other boards have helped me so much so I thought I might give this one a try. I'm so stressed out tonight because I don't know what this lump could be. Any advice would be appreciated.


Thank you


Brittaney

Hi Brittaney and welcome to the board.


It is possible that you have an ingrown hair (especially if you shave down there) or a pimple that will resolve on its own.
