What Causes A Bump On The Labia Minora?

default
Posted on Sat, 31 Dec 2016
Question: About 2 months ago a bump popped up on my labia minor, just on the outer side of my lips where it meets the rest of the labia minora skin. Kinda just tucked away in this fold. It started small and built up remaining very firm. I started to put tea tree on it and after about a week, I noticed a teeny head in it. It was about the size of a very small pea. I squeezed it and white puss shot out of it. It had a light but off smell! It fully drained with no pain caused and what remained is just the sack like skin. From there it has continued to build up every few days/once a week enough for me to squeeze it. The first week or 2 I could squeeze it even more often and it would squirt out white/clear liquid.

Now, what I squeeze out of it is more white like and not as watery.

It still does not hurt at all. Can you please tell me what you think this is.

I also don't know if this is related but I have been a lot more sexually aroused lately and finding I have a lot more moisture down there. I am just thinking maybe this also reflects something with hormones- related or unrelated. My boobs also hurt a lot more and for a lot longer this period than any previous from what I remember.

Thankyou.

Brief Answer:
vestibulitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
the description fits more of a vestibular cyst which occurs due to blockage of vestibular gland and can cause whitish discharge each time . This shall need a local examination and if confirmed a a course of antibiotics and possible surgical marsupialization of the cystic sac.

My breasts have been very tender. Could this be also related?

Could this be a sign of an std?

Also, it is not in this location that seems common for Vestibular cysts. Its on the outside of the inner lip, on the right side just at the bottom of the lip where it meets the rest of the pinky skin that sits closest to the labia majora.
