Question : Hi I have a tiny flesh coloured bump on my labia (picture will be emailed), and I was wondering if it could be a wart or something else. I did the vinegar test 2 times and it did not turn white.

Brief Answer:
Looks like a retention cyst. Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I have seen the attached image, and I am positive that it is probably a mucus retention cyst.

It will be harmless, but it is best to drain it and let it heal than wait for it to get infected.

That is usually the course of these retention cysts.

It does not look like a wart.

If at all you notice many more such swellings, then we will consider it to be a wart, a solitary one like this is usually not a wart.

That being said, there is no substitute for direct examination by a doctor, so please do visit your gynecologist when you have time and get yourself looked at.

I hope I have been able to help you. I would be happy to answer your further questions.
Best regards
