Hello, and thanks for posting. 

I'm afraid we are going to be unable to say if there is anything the matter as we are not doctors, but what I can say is that cancer in this area is very unusual in your age range. It is normally seen in ladies a lot older.

Lumps in that area can be put down to other things like Bartholin's cysts, which I have provided information on here. 

If you can it is good to try and talk this through with an adult that you trust, and then if you want to, contact the GP to organise an appointment. 

Take care, and try to not get yourself to stressed, as there will be an explanation. I know you have also posted elsewhere, so will post this there too.

Hopefully you will know more soon.

Sarah.

Oh okay thank you. I've just checked and there's now a red/purplish dot on it and it's raised and noticeable. Do you think it's anything too serious or anything I could do to help get rid of it? I'm really scared :(

Hiya , I know these things are worrying especially with anxiety :( I myself am 17 and struggle with anxiety really badly , I do nothing but google each and every feeling I get or thought I receive & it drives me insane , if I were you monitor it for a few more days and if it worsens see your GP but your at such a young age too be worrying about such things so stay happy & stop thinking the worse :)

Hiya, lumps and bumps in your vulva area are mostly harmless! I've had them and other vulva issues and none of them have been serious! It could just be a spot. If it is sore/uncomfortable you could put sudocrem on the area to soothe it. I hope you feel better ️‍ 

Hello and thanks for the update

Please try not to worry at your age it is unlikely to be anything serious and could well be something as simple as a spot.

There isn't much I can suggest apart from keeping the area as clean and dry as possible. Resist the urge to touch it and see if it goes away by itself in the next week. If it doesn't or it gets worse do mention it to your mum or another trusted adult and see what they have to say and i'm sure if needed an appointment could be arranged to get it checked out by your GP.

Take care

i have the exact same thing any updates??

Hello there

I am replying to you as it has been a while since the original forum user posted on the forum so they may not get back to you.

As we mentioned previously in this thread lumps in the genital area are common and most will have a simple cause that will come and go in a short period of time.

If you have concerns or the lump doesn't go away do arrange an appointment to get it checked out by your doctor.

All the best

Naomi

My daughter has just told me she has a clitoral hood cyst.....and that it burst yesterday......  she only told me because she was in a bit of pain and needed to stay of school! She was so matter of fact - because she had delt with it, done the reasearch, spoken to her best friends and was "now ok" 

I really beleive, the help from this site and others like it give calming and helpfull advice. If she was on this forum, Thank you so much for helping my strong independent daughter. Xxx 

I am so proud of her, but also feel like I have let her down -  ofcourse I'm kicking myself and now asking - Why didn't she come to me .. ??

The answer is -  It doesn't matter, The best outcome was, i think she got amazing advice and help from a forum of people who help, advise and/or have been in her shoes x  

NB,  PLEASE, If you do have a good relationship with your mother,  do trust in her to help with any problems, 9/10 times we might have gone through similar..... also we  will always take the pressure off you, that's what mums are ment to do..... take charge and sort things out xxxxxx 

Hello there and thanks for your post and positive feedback of the forum

I am glad your daughter is okay now.

Please be assured that any teenagers and young people who post on here we always encourage to speak to their parents or another trusted adult as well as a doctor if needed when spotting symptoms or changes to their bodies.

Sometimes I think in todays world it is easy for young people to access information on the internet and when it comes to embarrassing or intimate matters it is easier to speak anonymously or with friends rather than a parent, even when you are very close.

I am sure you are doing a great job so don't feel you have let your daughter down and it is good to know she did tell you in the end, and that she now knows if something else occurs in the future she can talk to you about it.

Take care

Naomi
