Suggest Treatment For Bumps On The Labia Majora

I recently discovered a bump, about marble sized, under the skin on my labia majora. It can not be seen, but it can be felt with bare hands. It s slightly moveable, but I ve never noticed it before. Should I be concerened? Could it be cancer? Or is it possibly just a cyst?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Dont directly jump to the conclusion of cancer

It could be cyst that is common in vaginal area, enlarged lymph node, blocked hair follicle, blocked sweat gland, fordyce cyst, Molluscum contagiosum, STD infection and Bartholin cyst
Vaginal examination by the gynecologist will help in the diagnosis and go for STD screening test.
All this cyst are pain less and harmless generally.
Do not pop up , it causes infection and bleeding
But if it is very large and associated with pain, dysuria, fever, itching , redness and foul smelling vaginal discharge.
Then
You should think about STDs and would like to test for STDs and
And consult to doctor for drainage and take antibiotics.
Also maintain hygiene and keep the area dry.
Hope this may help you
