I just discovered that I have a soft tender bump on my mons on the upper left side. it feels like there is nothing there but fat but and its a soft lump the size of a quarter and only hurts when I press on it. what could this be. how long should I wait to make a Doctors appt?
Hi. A soft tender lump on the Mons may be due to an infected sebaceous cyst. Due to fat contents of the Mons most of the small swellings are not easily seen, can only be felt. You should seek immediate attention as you need a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines so that it may resolve without incision, otherwise excision may be necessary. Due to excessive fat, the healing is hampered in the area of Mons.
