I've found a lump, please help!?!
Question: I've found a lump, please help!?
the other day i noticed a lump on the skin between my vagina and leg, it's slightly larger than a pea and slightly tender to touch, i'm almost certain it wasn't there that morning. it goes down when heat is applied to it. i'm not sexually active but too embaressed to see my doctor, what could it be and what should i do?! thanks
Answers:
Likely a cyst or ingrown hair. Leave it alone, it'll go away by its self.
You shouldn't be embarrassed to see your doctor. They are there to help you, not laugh at you. It could be an ingrown hair or a pimple. Wait a few days. If you are concerned, show a parent/trusted adult.
