    Okay Ive been having these lumps and they do itch sometimes when they apear but it doesnt burn when I urinate. Ive taken a blood test six months after the last time I had sexual intercourse to see if I may have any diseases and everything came out negatively.  Ive been celibate every since but Im not understanding why these bumps/lumps are still appearing? It seems to come around my menstrual cycle. Thank you for taking the time to share.

    one day i woke up and i felt one bump around the vulva area, no pain only when touched, next day i go to the rest room i see more than one around the same area and an extra one on the other side. still hoping that these will go away, next morning i wake up and i feel slight pain in my right thigh and as i feel on the outside of my vagina there is a deep lump which i can feel about the size of a dime or smaller. I want to go to the doctor but i just got my period in the midst of this, what do you think this could be. I was suppose to be having a baby, but unfortunately not and that was since the month of september and for some reason i have had a yeast infection, and this is the first time i am actually having any kind of problems down there... please help

    hi DR i'm 21yrs and i have notice bump on the outside of my vagina next to the side of my leg, it would grow and then burst expelling blood and fluid sometimes, it is small and hard to touch, i have not had unprotected sex with anyone and so i'm really worried, could this be cancerous, because it was there for a while now and its not going.

    bumps in the pubic area are usually ingrown hairs, youre told not to pop them but thats the only way for them to go away. Every time it happens to me i pop them and you can see a hair in the fluid then a little blood comes out and its usually gone by the next day. Pretty sure its nothing to worry about just happens when it gets sweaty down there.
