Vulval itching and lump under skin

Hi hoping for some help I have anal and vulval itching...my GP said I have Lichen sclerosis on my anus but not on the Vulva (he didn't actually state what that itching was), I have a new mole on my labia Majora, and on feeling around I can feel  a lump deep under the skin, midway between the vagina and clitorus so I don't think it's a gland.....just wondered if anyone else has had similar and outcomes?? 
I feel like I've been to the GP so much and just being a nuisance I don't want to go back about this x

  • Hello Lebell84

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some recent health issues and that your GP has diagnosed you as having Lichen sclerosis . I hope that they have made a referral or offered you some treatment to help get the symptoms under control. 

    Please do make an appointment to go back to your GP about this new mole and lump that you've found. it's important to get these things checked if only for your own peace of mind. If you don't feel comfortable seeing the same GP then maybe there is another professional in the surgery that you can arrange to speak with. 

    I do hope that things settle for you soon. 

    Best wishes,

    Thank you,

     

    I rang the GP practice yesterday and have a phone appointment today so hopefully I can get them seen to, I'm hoping before the weekend but that may be wishful thinking.
