What Is The Recurring Lump Am I Having?
I had cervical cancer 3 years ago (adneocarcinoma stage 0) and had a partial hysterectomy. I have not had any problems until recently when i have had what my gyno thought was infected hairs in the vaginal area. However I have had this lump in the same place reoccuring. Sometimes it does look like a pimple and opens up and goes away but reoccurs in the same area every few weeks. Recently this has been just a lump with no pimple at all. I have been worried, what should I do?

Hi.
This is most unlikely to be a cancer.
From your description this looks to be a sebaceous cyst. Request your Doctor to get this excised in toto ( removed ) and subject the sample for histopathology examination to make sure this is not malignancy ( cancer).
This way your will be sure of this beng not a cancer and you get rid of the problem too
