What Can Cause A Lump Around The Vagina?
I had a lump around the vagina thinking it was a boil. I have been given antibiotics which reduced the pain however the lump is still there. In the last couple of days I m having a yellowish vaginal discharge and it s slightly itchy. What could this be?

You need proper clinical examination.
Lump may be due to many reasons like bartholin cyst,boil etc.It is also important to exclude genital infection as you have discharge and itching.
Gram staining and culture of discharge material can be done to find out the cause.
Treatment depend upon findings.
Hope i have answered your query.
