Sebaceous Cyst?
Posted: 01-03-08 02:06am

I have had a lump on my labia minora on the outside near my clitoris for about a year now. It doesnt really hurt and I would say it is pea-shaped in size. It is pretty hard and does not appear to be like a pimple because it doesnt come to a head. No fluid has ever come out of it either. I havent been to the doctor about it but I am very concerned because I feel like it may have gotten a tad bit bigger and has lasted for so long. I am hoping it is a sebaceous cyst but google made me paranoid that I could possibly have cancer. I am only 21 years old and a virgin so I dont have HPV. I need reassurance, opinions, and advice!

It sounds like it's a...Bartholin's cyst? I think that is what they are called. It is probably harmless. But go to the doctor just so he or she can have a look and set your mind at ease.

I dont think it is Bartholin's cyst because it is not where the gland is near the opening of the vagina.
