I’m PETRIFIED of this lump ☹️

[Bumblebee512]

Hi girls I will be attaching a picture I have a lump near my vaginal canal but it’s more on the outside..

google is telling me all sorts but has anyone had anything similar ??? Any advice would be appreciated my darlings .

Bartholin’s cyst?

i did see this on google @DustyLee123 .. it’s not hurting its skin coloured and it’s his a pea sized lump.. it’s right next to my perineum but more external 🫣☹️

It's very unlikely to be anything serious (I work in Sexual Health). I would make an appt to get checked, but don't lose any sleep over it.

@helpmum2003 can you guys see the pic I attached

I hope it’s not ☹️☹️

Looks like an ingrown hair. I had a painful one last year. I sterilised a needle and dissected it. Took a lot of digging but a long curled up hair popped out and some pus. It went down almost instantly. :)

@Beeloux was yours lumpy ..

mine feels like a lump and I am shitting my pants

Yeah it literally felt like a hard pea under the skin. I had to dig deep to get the hair out but it was very satisfying once out!

@Beeloux il give that a go today.. only problem is it’s such a awkward place !

Aw bless you yeah it’s hard too so. Best to stand with one leg up and use a compact mirror!

Do you have health anxiety? I suspect that's the real issue here

I had one in the same place last year. Was a hard lump for ages then turned into an infected cyst. Needed antibiotics for it and once it started to swell it was as painful as.....

See your GP and get it looked at.

I had a rock hard pea sized lump. Doctor said it was a cyst and it went on its own within about 10 days. It didn’t look like yours though as mine felt like it was all under the skin.

@FeatherFace I do.. really bad health anxiety .. I loathe 2 daughters due to clinical negligence in 2021 and 2022 and they messed me up since then I developed PTSD and massive health anxiety 😟

@Bumblebee512 ah that's really understandable then why you're flying into a panic over this.

Give it a couple of weeks and reassess over that time. Don't google because truly, you'll have something like a boring old spot and google will just feed the HA cycle which you don't want.

Hi OP, it's difficult to say exactly what it is from photo but definitely not serious. I would just leave it a while and see what happens....

@helpmum2003

it’s soft and doughy but when I put 1 leg up and touch it’s hard so I can’t even tell wetha it’s hard or soft ☹️😤

Not too sure the picture is a little blurry might be because too close up taken but it also look like those pimples without tip which hurts a lot when touching it.
So how long do you have it or what is the last update any change?

Hi hun iv had it about 2 weeks but it does feel a lot softer today.. so let’s see maybe it’s nothing I hope it’s nothing anyway 🫣🫣

So it might be a pimple as i said - it also get softer for each day. But how does it look, is it still same size or the colour changed etc..?

Nope it’s skin colour and same size

I dont think it is something to worry about though. Where is this spot exactly, your butt? I mean i also got a lot of times pimples and stuff around genital area and butt and looks similar but the pic is also too close so couldnt be too sure about it

Hi it’s right next to me perineum area but in my but cheek if you know what I mean.. I just hope it’s nothing

hmm i think, not sure though. So what is the status today anything new?
