One bump?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Since mid-September I've gotten one single bump on my labia 3 separate times! It is painful only with pressure. It's pink- same color as labia but with a verrrry tiny pinpoint white dot. The whole thing is very big and raised. The other two were also on my labia but in different areas. They only occurred one at a time.
Could this be herpes or something else? I do workout and wear tight clothing so i thought it could maybe be some kind of irritation. But three times now since September???
I have an appointment with my gen practitioner tomorrow for a physical and i do plan to ask about this.
Thank you for your help!

Hi, it sounds like a sebaceous cyst. it happens when your oil gland get clogged and inflamed. The white dot is the opening of your gland. I have a few too on my labia. They can grow really big and get really painful. Even though they are extremely annoying, they are benign. The best is to wait for them to go away buy themselves. A warm compress and sitz bath help them drain.
They do have a tendency to come back so if they are annoying you and painful, you can discuss with your doctors about having them removed.

I tried to take a pic but it just doesn't show right. The tiny dot almost doesn't show, I had to really look to see it. I just got very worried that it could be herpes because of the location and because it was the third one in 2 months. Can herpes present this way?
I really appreciate your help!

I don't think so, if you feel like a hard lump underneath, it's a cyst. Yes they can come back, stress, cloth frictions... who knows. tiny dot convince me it's a cyst.
Herpes go through different stage and they usually blister. I'm not really worried for you.
