What Causes Swollen Labia Minora With A Bump On One Of Them?
I have a small pea size bump inside my labia Minora and it only hurts only when I try to squeez it or if Im wiping that area after I go to the restroom. Also I dont know if its just me panicking but I also feel like both my labia Minora are swollen but only one of them has a bump. What does this mean? HELP.

Hello,
It could be a blocked sweat gland or hair follicle. The labia minora are the little lips and if something is inflamed there it can make them swollen.
There is something called a Bartholin cyst that is inside the labia majora (big lips). I Suggest you go see your doctor to have the bump checked out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
