Suggest Medication For A Bump Near The Lip Of The Vagina
I have a purple bump on the side skin near the lip of my vagina. I think I popped it and there was a bit of liquids blood coming out of it a week or so ago. Today in the shower I was washing myself and applied pressure to it and it began to hurt. I checked it out and saw it was purple. Last time, it was red, so I got worried. It was leaking a liquids substance and whenever I apply pressure, it hurts. What could it be? Is it a cyst?
