Labia majora lump
I had a terrible itch on both sides of my labia majora for a while now. After a bit it went away. Seems to come & go. But now I found a lump on the right side that started off itching & feeling like a mosquito bite, but now it is very tender & I can feel it under the skin as well as see it on top. It's approx the sz of a marble! It hurts all the time. I found it 3 days ago & it seems to grow every day! Anyone have this before? Any suggestions for home remedy??

Hello,
This kind of bump can be an infected hair follicle, cyst or a boil. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. Also wear cotton clothes. Application of mild corticosteroid cream prescribed by your doctor and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful on the bump. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
