One sore rep bump/pimple on labia minora

I am a nurse. A pimple type lump under the skin is likely a cyst. I would suggest seeing a doctor. Do not be embarrassed because they see this stuff all the time and it is not embarrassing to them. They will make you feel comfortable. Warm compresses are always a good way to decrease swelling in that area but make sure they are not so hot they burn you. Warm sitz baths also help. Take 3-4 a day. If the area is painful, increasing in redness or size see a doctor. Try to avoid touching the area so it does not get infected and if you must, wash you hands well before and after touching the area.

It could be a blocked Barlothin gland. I get them sometimes too. Put a hot wash cloth on it and the swelling will go down. I also sit in the warm tub and squeeze it if its really bugging me. If it gets bad you can go to the doctor and have him drain it but usually the heat will get it to go away. Hope this helps. :)

I have the sane problem but my mommy went and brought some cream and first it heats it then cools it off it really relaxing

I literally just went to the doctor today because I have a swollen lymphnode in my groin and she made me get a blood test for herpes to see if that's what's causing my nodes to flare up. Coincidentally I have the same kind of bump everyone else is talking about... right on the lip, kinda sore, totally poppable, but she looked at it and told me there's a good chance that it's not herpes. I'm obviously still freaked the f**k out but reading these posts are making me feel soooo much better.

yah same here...days after i shaved...i saw a small like pimple.at first  i dnt mind it..but then it become itchy..i scratch it then i noticed on the other day it become bigger..so itchy..same with my rushes at the buttom of my labia minora...i think it is infected with shaving..

I just experienced something similar to what you had.  Last night i noticed a painful bump on my labia minora while wiping.  Naturally I started freaking out, I've been in a committed relationship for five years, but the thought of STDs is still in the back of my mind.  Anyways, I decided to leave it alone, but while showering I held a hot wash cloth between my legs, right on the worrisome area.  The next day, while using the restroom and wiping, I pressed on the bump very hard with the toilet paper and it popped!  There was a ton of pus and blood (sorry for the gross factor) and the bump went down in size.  It no longer hurts, so hopefully it will go away now.  I'm thinking it was just a pimple in a really odd spot.  Try the hot wash cloth thing and try to leave it alone and see if yours pops on its own.  I think if it lasts longer than a few days though you should go to your doctor.

I have the exact same thing now, several bumps in the right and left side of my labia majora.  I've seen a gyno before when it was on my minora, bigger, and more painful.  She said it was just a fluid filled cyst that didn't seem to be dangerous and suggested peroxide every dayi with a Q-tip and check to make sure it was going down.  Sure enough it did.

Now, i think these are due to ingrown hairs, as I was waxed for the first time recently and it's taking quite a while for the hairs to grow back.  It is annoying and embarassing and I am going to try to hurry their disappearance with more peroxide.  If this is your first time seeing them I strongly suggest a trip to the doctor because you can never be too safe.  :-)  Good luck!

I have had similar problems. This is what I have found that works for me. I do not use a razor down there, I use a ladies trimmer. I DO NOT use perfumed soap. Ivory is a good one to use. I exfoliate groin areas, that will deep ingrown hairs away.

About 7 years ago (at age 40), I noticed a sharp pain when wiping.  Washed my hands and felt a pea sized lump.  Incredibly painful to touch! Got a mirror out for a look at my labia.  (I have 2 sisters and a mom who are nurses, so we had no modesty growing up or body shame).  It was not red but definitely ready to pop.  Tears came to my eyes as it exploded on the mirror but what a relief after.  Washed the area gently with soap and water and it went away in a week.  Then 6 months later it returned.  Same spot.  This has been going on twice a year except for a year after I took accutane for adult acne.  Sometimes they show up on a different spot on the labia.  Both my sisters said it's just a zit - leave it alone.  Of course, I am a "popper".  Sometimes they stick around longer and re-pus up.  This spring I had one during a visit to my dermatologist, so I asked him to have a look.  He confirmed it was a pimple.  He said it doesn't matter how often I shower - I am one of the unlucky ones prone to acne and unfortunately mine shows up down there as I enter peri-menopause.  Sigh.  He didn't give me anything but advice: keep the area clean (baby wipes instead of toilet paper), don't wear tight jeans, use unscented panty liners and sleep sans bottoms whenever possible to air the area out.  Ladies: Do not use baby powder or douches!  In fact scrubbing can wash away the "good" bacteria down there. Warm sitz baths help.  Got one making me crazy right now as I type this.  Please go see a GP, OBGYN or a dermotologist for confirmation.  He/she may prescribe a topical antibiotic.  Sorry you are experiencing this, but it is quite common.

Ya, thanks ladies. Super big help...
I bit the bullet and squeased it. Hudge burst of blood came out so cool. Hope it's all out and I just put some pollysporn on it. I hope it get better.

I get these occasionally. I apply a series of hot (not steaming, don't burn yourself, compresses, A hot tap water soft washcloth, to the area. After about 20 minutes the area usually comes to a head and will pop itself or will express with ver little pressure. Then another series of washcloths to gently clean area. Wear loose clothing for a couple of days and just keep the area clean. Good luck, I know they are painful.

my mom is a retired rn. today i i noticed my bump was irritating enoyfh to tell her. she said it could be you sre nott washing the spot well. she said use soap and water and then plain water to wash it. she said it should go away in a couple days.

I had this a little while ago. Instead if squeezing, carefully pop it with a sterile needle then press around the hole to get all the fluids out. Then just wash carefully and keep the area dry if it all possible. You might need to do this a couple times but it should clear up within a few days.  

It's called a Bartholin cyst.. I had or have the same problem... If its not completely Removed it Will continue to come back. And they don't do this procedure at the ER. You have to follow up with an obgyn

I get these on a semi-regular basis (maybe 4-6 times a year).  I use Witch Hazel on a clean cloth and hold it there for a few minutes.  The cooling nature of the Witch Hazel is wonderful.  Usually mine pop on their own in 2-3 days.  Once it drains, it starts to go away. 

 

With anything like this, it is important to see a doctor.  They see these things all the time.  It is best to rule out any sort of infection, or STI.  Knowledge is power, ladies!  The more you know about what is going on, the better you will feel in the long run.

 

Take care of yourself, and your bodies!
