Question : hi there. i was pushing down inside the outer lips of my vagina (labia majora) area under my skin and felt a small moveable lump in one of my lips that seems to move easily from side to side and does not feel super hard but is not popable. i have major health anxiety and think that every lump i find on my body is cancer so im hoping to get some mind relief from you.

(i have located the general area with a red dot for you. however, this lump i feel can not be seen or felt on the outside it is located internally)

I am 19 years old and sexually active but there is no concern of STIS. The lump i feel is kidney bean sized, moveable from side ro side, somewhat squishy. it is foubd only when i push my fingers into the right outer vaginal lip and is located closer to my groin area than the labia manoria. it has the feeling of what a lymph node would feel like. I have been tols that cancer in that area would nor develop like this but rather with a sore located outside on the vulva and bleeding pain etc. i have no bleeding pain abnormal discharge or swelling. I am still extremly worried about cancer and tumours

Brief Answer:
you can get a direct check up

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings

It will be difficult to comment without seeing directly or pictures. If you can send me few clear pictures I may be able to give some ideas about it. Alternatively you can always get a direct check up with a gynaecologist to confirm what it is .And that will relieve all your fear about cancer.
