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!!~ Chat Doctor.
