Vaginal, Pussy Lumps?

I get lumps on my vagina sometimes. When squeezed, some of them drain puss. I normally only get one at a time. They cause the area to become swollen. They seem to be under the skin, like a red spot on the face. They are very close to the skin though. I would estimate that I’ve had about 7-8 of them in my life. Sometimes one goes and another appears soon after. They normally disappear after a few days or a week. They can be painful and I just want to be rid of them!

Hi there

I believe what you are talking about are sebaceous cysts and they are known to be quite painful.

Have you taken any antibiotics or steroids to help?

I would not squeeze as this puts you at risk for infection.

Some people use a warm compress to soothe things. But if you are looking for a long term solution you should really see your doctor to discuss options.

Thank you for your question.
