Labia minora mole bleeding?

Hi all, 

2 days ago I noticed that a mole I have on my labia minora became inflamed and extremely painful. It was raised, almost like there was a pimple under. Today, I noticed it scabbed over and when I went to wipe it came off, no mole left or anything, just an open sore. Is this cause for concern? (I'm 21 btw) 

 

(sorry if this is tmi) 

  • Hello, and thank you for posting.

    I'm afraid we are going to be unable to diagnose or say if there is anything the matter as we are not doctors. What I can say is that cancer is more unusual in your age range.

    It might be a good idea to keep an eye on it over the next week, and if doesn't go away get it checked out by your GP just in case it was just a spot or cyst that settles down. Anyone noticing anything that they are concerned about we recommend they contact their doctor to be assessed properly.

    Take care, and hopefully you will know more soon.

    Sarah.
