Can I just say OW! And TMI...

I have a lump in (on?!) my labia and it's flipping painful! Noticed it a few days ago - how long before I take the shame and head down to my GP's? It's marble-sized, tender and making it pretty sore to sit down! I've been stressed out at work recently and am tired/run down at the moment - am assuming it's a big spot and will go away on its own but just not sure how long to leave it...

You didn't sound the Klaxon, do you not know the rules!

Oh no! And I've always wanted to do that but never had reason to! Gutted....

Is it squeezable?
Maybe get a cloth with hot as you can stand water on it and see will it burst?

I have has boils in various dodgy places, always hormone related and mostly when I was breastfeeding.

No I don't think so - it's under the skin so not squeezable - just painful - and the thought of cycling to work tomorrow is bringing tears to my eyes..!

im with fanny(aproppriately named hehehe) i too get random hormone related spots, id try squeeze too!

St Bart's cyst?

I thought cyst too. My friend had one. They removed it and beautified her fanny at the same time. She did ask them to BTW just as a jike and the surgeon agreed

Jike ????? Joke

thanks all It's calming down now and seems to have grown and then shrunk as my period came and went, so hopefully it was just a hormone spot-type thing. How lovely....

I get these from time to time - I think they are Bartholin's Cysts - very painful indeed, but if they do come to a head, they are exceedingly satisfying to squeeze - especially the huuuge one that came up whilst I was at a wedding in Hull, and got more and more painful as we drove the hundreds of miles home - to the point where I went straight to A&E when we got back. I hoped they would drain it for me, but they just gave me antibiotics, so I sqoze it when we got home - very satisfying!
