Hello! About Two Weeks Ago While In The Shower I
Question: Hello! About two weeks ago while in the shower I felt a small bump in the inside of my vulva. I am attaching a few pictures as best as II could take, with the area circled. It is firm and about the same color as the vulvar skin. Can you please take a look and let me know what it may be and whether it’s anything to worry about? Thank you!

Brief Answer:
It can be a Bartholin's cyst.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concerns.
I have seen the attached image. The small swelling on the vulva seems to be a small sebaceous cyst or a Bartholin's cyst.
In case it is not painful then you can do a hot compress and apply local antiseptic cream like Neosporin H and see if it helps. In case the swelling increases in size or becomes painful then proper antibiotics will be needed for its treatment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow-up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Thank you so much Dr. Tayal! I appreciate your kindness and expertise! I won’t be having my annual appointment with my gynecologist until a few months from now, so just a follow up question: can I expect that the cyst may continue to be there for a period of time? Thanks again!
