What Causes Bulgy Mass On The Labia Majora?

Posted on Fri, 1 Jul 2016

Question: I discovered an elongagted bulgy mass on one side of my outermost vulva about two days ago. It is now a little bloody. What could it be?
I had some Mupirocin Ointment on hand that I have been using on the site over the last few days.
I just check it and after the bloody discharge it has almost all gone away except a small little irritation?

Elongated bulgy mass on labia majora is most likely to be a carbuncle or cyst.

It doesn't appear to be bulgy as it was earlier, but mass is definitely still there...would be hard to send a photo.

Brief Answer:
Infective pathology

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, the bulge by description, seems to be infective.
I will suggest you to apply local antibiotic like metrogyl ointment and take pain killers, if the pain is there.
Maintain hygiene, wear cotton underwear, and avoid dampness.Regards
