Hi, I have just noticed that I have spot, red lump, on my vulva (anterior commisure of labia majora) about the size of a pea. Can you tell me what it is? Should I be worried or go to my doctor? Its not sore but now that I'm consintrating on it its starting to get slightly tingly. Help!
Hi, This is most likely to be a Bartholin's cyst. This is a common cyst in this area. If it is causing no problem to you then you need do nothing. However, if you are experiencing any discomfort from it then I suggest you see your doctor for examination. It may be infected and in this case you would need antibiotics. Regards, Dr K A Pottinger
