What Is The Painful Blood Filled Lump On My Vagina?

About a week or two ago I noticed a lump on my vaginal area. Got scared. Then the next day it seemed to have grown considerably. It became painful to walk or even wipe and shower. I got a mirror to see it and it was big. I tried squeezing it several times to see if it would pop. I couldn t get it to pop any until tonight in the shower. It only squeezed a little bit of blood. It has a dark spot in it as of looking in the mirror tonight. What could this be? Thanks. PS I had my Pap smear in August but there were no abnormalities and I ve been celebate for over a year.

hi.

is it located internally or externally? based from your description, it could be folliculitis if it is on the outer surface. this usually occurs after shaving or when a hair is accidentally pulled out and it gets infected. it could also be a cyst, or an inflammatory reaction which is starting to form an abscess. if it is located internally, a consult with your gynecologist is best for clinical evaluation. other tumor types must also be ruled-out, such as malignancy. medical and/or surgical management will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
