Suggest Treatment For Pea-sized Lump On Mons Pubis
Question: Hi I'm 26 years and a female,
I noticed on the right Side of my mons pubis right where the pubic hair grows, a small pea size lump underneath the skin. When you look on it at the surface it doesn't look like anything is wrong but once u palpate the area, you can feel the lump. I tried to feel the same mass on the other side but there isn't one. There's no skin issues or any pain associated with this lump. I've actually noticed this lump a few years ago, about when I was 15, but thought it would go away nd now today it's still there... Please help me I'm afraid this could mean something bad.

Brief Answer:
Don't worry ,IT IS A BENIGN LUMP
Detailed Answer:
HI DEAR AND THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY!
I understand your concern and I will try to help you.
As you describe ,small painless lump on your mons pubis seems to be a benign lump.
From the moment you have seen it ,is it increased or not?
Did it change the color of the skin ?
More common are lipoma (is a growth of fat cells in a thin, fibrous capsule usually found just below the skin.)
But the exact diagnosis can be done only by inspection of lump.
Hence if you can ,please upload a picture of the lump.
All the best

Hi thank you for responding,
It's the same size, and the outer appearance has no skin breakdown. My pubic hair is growing over it and the skin and area doesn't look any different from the other side. There's no pain or rash to where I can palpate the lump. I'm just very worried it might be cancerous. When I palpate I can move it around and it has a squishy feeling.
