Unknown Lump on Labia (possible cyst?)

Posted , 4 users are following.

(image after paragraph) For the past 6 months I've had this reoccurring lump form on my upper laiba. It got very large and painful but hasn't been as large the following times but it's still quite painful. I can't sit comfortably but I'm not sure what it is as a bartholin cyst is on the lower and skenes cysts are closer to clitorious. Any ideas?image

    Its an infected Fordyce gland. Not dangerous but can be painful as you already know. If its recurring you need to see a doctor for medication.

    I get the same thing. Warm compresses for several days really helps it shrink.
