Lump under skin on labia majora

Last night I felt a medium sized lump under my skin near the top of the labia majora, I struggle with anxiety and this has really been on my mind the past day. The lump is not visible but can be felt and is quite hard when I found it last night liquid was draining from it both a clear and cloudy appearance, I thought would help to drain it but realised soon that it wouldn't, it has not drained at all today and it quite tender and still feels the same. I am really worried and don't know what to do.

  • I would make a doctors appointment when they reopen probably Tuesday locally. You may have a cyst that needs antibiotics if it's leaking. Keep the area clean and dry, Take some pain relief if you need some. And see the doctor soon. 
    take care hope that helps

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I see that you have been given some good advice already by Alfieisastar.

    I'm afraid we can't say what might be the matter (diagnose) but it’s possible you may have a Bartholin's cyst. This is a harmless non-cancerous cyst.  You can read more about Bartholin's cysts at this link. 

    But only a doctor can make a medical assessment, so we always encourage people to make an appointment see their GP.. Doctors are trained to assess symptoms and can arrange tests if they feel it’s necessary to try to find out what might be going on. 

    I hope you know more about your situation soon.

    Kind regards,

    Celene
