What Could A Painless Yet Growing Lump Near The Vagina Indicate?

I am a 38yr old female and I have had this mysterious growth on my left upper thigh close-but not on my vagina. It statred out pretty small but over the last year has grown to the size of a large grape. It is soft and squishy like No redness or pain but bothersome due to the location. My pcp referred me to a dermatologist whom I can tsee until late Feb and it is continuing to grow. Any idea what it may be? FYI...I have a hx of ovarian cysts, PCOS, and fibroids.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Considering your description this may be benign subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma or atheroma and if there are no skin changes such as redness, pus discharge or pain and fever then you should not be worried since it can be easily surgically removed under local anesthesia. If there is redness and pain, however, then urgent surgical drainage is required and perhaps antibiotic therapy as well since it may be an abscess or inflamed bartholini cyst in this case. These are inflammatory processes which are characterized with pus filled lumps and best treated with surgical procedure.
. I hope I have answered your query. Wish you good health.
