What Causes Hard Lump On Right Labia?
Hi, I have developed a hard lump on the top of my right labia, closest to my thigh. I have had a warm/hot shower & tried popping it but nothing comes out of it. It rubs on my clothing when walking & the likes but isn't overly painful. Any ideas on what it could be? Oh & I'm 10weeks pregnant with our second child

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
It can be a boil or furuncel, which has not ripened fully yet.
Take a course of antibiotic like cefixim (its safe in pregnancy) to help it mature, it may even resolve with it. If pain is tolerable, then you can avoid the painkiller.
In about three days it should go.
