I have a lump under my skin on my vagina?

I'm a registered nurse n army medic. Although my area of expertise is in geriatrics, emergency medicine, n psych I feel I can answer ur qu accurately. I believe wha u r dealing w/is a nodule. I used 2 c them on my soldiers all the time when we were in iraq. They formed on my guys bc of their underwear rubbing on their skin n the constant sweating they endured in the desert heat. Wha I would do is keep an eye on it. If it increases in size or becomes 2 painful 2 beat either tell ur primary care doc or report 2 the ER. Wha they'll most likely do is perform n I&D which means incision n drainage. I have done hundreds of them. 1st I give my patient a little dose of narcotic pain killer. Then I inject lidocaine, an anesthetic, into the area. Then when it is nice n numb I take a scalpel n make a small incision on the nodule n then apply sum pressure until the fluid comes gushing out. N then dependin on how big the nodule was I stuff the wound w/packing gauze. N if needed I provide rx percocet

I have had several Bartholins cyst, they can take several weeks to shrink.

So I'm the person who asked the question, although both answers were helpful, they were not what i had to do to get rid of it, alls i had to do was wash the lump with dove soap and it shrunk down so much by the next morning, it then took about 2/3 days to fully go, so if any one else has this problem then purchase some dove soap it saved me big time x
