What Could Lumps On Vaginal Area Suggest?

well i am !8 years old and my whole life i have never had a regular period cycle. there are some years where i go with maybe 3 periods max. a year... my last period was May 30, 2009 and since then i have not had my period.... today while taking a shower i felt a lump the size of a dime between my upper thigh and my vagina.. it is where the leg creases in the pelvic area.. this lump has a purple color to it and when you feel it with two fingers, you can actually feel like a round lump. it doesnt hurt to push on it and i dont know if i should be concerned about this lump or is this just natural?

hi.

based from your description, it could be an inguinal lymphadenopathy or an inflammed lymph node secondary to a recent infection. it could also be a cyst (a sebaceous or a keratinous type). it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. further diagnostics and management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
