This morning noticed a pea sized bump "down there" but on the outside if you see what I mean
Fully aware that if it doesn't go/ gets any bigger I need it checking but any thoughts without scaring me too much on what it may be? I have a theory but not sure....

Ingrown hair?

If you could be less coy and describe in more detail that might help!

I had a small (painless) pea sized lump in my groin for about a month - I was worried it was a lymph node but doc said it was a hair cyst and it went away on its own. Worth getting it looked at if you're worried. It took seconds for her to put my mind at ease :)

it could be a hair cyst actually hadn't thought of that. I am given to dramatics where these things are concerned and was thinking Bartholin's cyst or similar as it fits that description. Blush i always go for the dramatics!!

From NHS choices:

A Bartholin's cyst, also called a Bartholin's duct cyst, is a small growth just inside the opening of a woman?s vagina. Cysts are small fluid-filled sacs that are usually harmless.

It's not clear what you meant by 'on the outside' but it's not likely to be a Bartholin's cyst if it could be an ingrown hair.

I was convinced I had cancer! Especially as my aunt had hodgkins when she was a similar age to me now. Step away from google and see the doc :)

that's exactly where it is. Bugger I bet it is you know.
I'll give it a week or two as it is small but any drastic developments it may well be a visit to the GP.Damn.

If you're prone to dramatics this is probably just a spot.
