Suggest Remedies For A Painful Itchy Lump On Labia Minora

I have what I can only describe as what feels like a splinter underneath my labia minora. At first I thought it was a pimple, cyst, or sti until I realized it was linear. It feels too thick to be a hair follicle. When pinching the skin it feels like a small stick (half inch, maybe longer) that rolls under the skin. The top of the skin is red and it s swollen. Could be a vein also maybe. Very painful. Help what could it be!? I m also 33 weeks pregnant.

Hi,

The lump near your labia minora could be Bartholin cyst. Its a benign harmless cyst. It has no relation to HPV or human papilloma virus and is not a sexually transmitted infection. It is formed when Bartholin gland gets blocked. As far as your second swelling in your inguinal area is concerned, it sounds like a lymph node only. The size is too small to be worried about. At times, lymph nodes can be palpable normally. Your gynecologist would be the best person to confirm the diagnosis of these lumps. In my opinion, though these lump do not sound alarming but still a proper consultation should be taken from a specialist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
