What Is The Cause Of A Lump On The Labia Minora?

Hi
I noticed earlier today that I have a small lump on the outside of my labia minora - it's a bit sore and tender to the touch but there's no discolouration and it's not really visible. I'm a virgin. Any advice as to what this might be would be great! I've also experienced itching around the vulval area recently.

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to folliculitis which is an infection of the hair follicle. I suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream. I also suggest to maintain a good hygiene and avoid shaving until the bump goes away.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
