Is A Sore Bump In The Groin Area A Matter Of Concern?
So I'm worried because I have this bump underneath my skin on my left outer lip. It's near to my inner thigh right where my panty will lie. It's been there for months. Occasionally it will get big and then small again. At the moment it's big and feels sore. I took a mirror to look at it and saw a small black color.. should I be worried?

Hi
I think it may be Bartholin's cyst. A bartholin gland secrets fluid to lubrificate vagina and If the glad duct us blocked it forms a cyst. To help it drain you can use hot and cold baths and Epsom salt baths. If it hurts it may get infected and needs antibiotics.
If it still persists your doctor can drain it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
