What should you do if you have something growing on your inner vaginal lip that looks like a pimple and is painful to the touch?

Answer 1

The obvious answer is to be checked fot STD's, but if you are clear of them, it may be a sub-cutaneous cyst. They can be very painful, but they are only a minor skin problem like a hard pimple that never comes to a head. It will pass in its own eventually. But if it is a big problem or if they keep returning, consider seeing a good dermatologist after ruling out STD's. Gynocologists tend to lance them, but this causes them to return more frequently and caused me to lose sensitivity in one of the labia minora. I am not in the medical profession but have been treated for this recurring problem since before I was sexually active, and I have read many articles on it as well. Some women are more prone to it than others. Do not squeeze as sub-cutaneous cysts seldom form a head, and their pus lies well below the surface. Squeezing just causes a lot of pain and can spread the 'poison' underneath the surface of the skin.
