Hi!
I found a small bead sized lump to the
left of my urethra. It has been there for
approximately two years. It is painless
and does not affect my lifestyle. It
appears to be under the skin but not deep.
It is the same colour as the surrounding
skin, except a tad shiner. What could this
be, what could I do and how could i
prevent it?

It is very hard to diagnose a “small,
painless, bead sized lump” without a
visual examination. The lump could be a
cyst created from a para-urethral gland
but you'll have to consult a dermatologist
or gynaecologist about this condition for
an accurate diagnosis.
