Hi, Bit freaked out this morning,

I have had a small red lump in the labia majora for the last 8 years or so. The Dr that I showed it to then said it was not sinister but cosmetic and so I would have to pay for it to be removed. I have since found it has grown in size and is now white and hard (no pain or discharge from it) and am freaking out thinking with the menopause approaching I have high Oestrogen levels could it have turned nasty?

People get sebaceous cysts on their head quite a lot - it is just a hard painless lump that one day bursts and oozes a load of cheesy stuff, much to the persons surprise.

I had a lump on my labia for years, and ran out of ideas for what it was. One day it came off. It was like a lump of dead skin with a coiled pube inside. I think it must have been an ingrowing hair.

I had a phase of 2 years where I had these on my head (2) and also my labia and my husband has one on his chin. They are a bit weird and gross. One eventually burst but look ages (3-4 months), the labia one I went to the GP and it just shrivelled eventually. I felt like it was some virus that had got into our bed / sheets. Not had them since. GP said you get them in infected hair follicles.

Yes! I had one for years! But it's vanished now that I am post menopause!
