I am 27 yo female, otherwise healthy. I just noticed a 1inch cord-like, hard mass under the left side labia minora skin that lies parallel to the vagina, near the bottom of the vaginal opening. It started as an itchy area on Saturday, then this Sunday a palpable pea-marble shaped mass was felt under the skin. Now the mass has extended in a tube-like shape all the way to the bottom of the vagina. What could this be? It doesn t seem like a bartholin cyst, I have never had one before but the shape of this mass is not characteristic of a cyst. Could it be vulvar cancer?
