What are the painful and swollen lumps on my labium?
Patient: Hello, I am concerned about little lumps (i would call it spots inside the skin) in my right labium, I found one earlier this week that sarted swelling up quite a lot and hurt terribly, it was difficult to find a way of sitting down comfortably. Now I found a second one in the same labium further down, a bit smaller, also tender to touch, if that starts swelling like the other one I wont  be able to sit at all. Then i started looking for more, and found one that is where my leg starts already, so away from the genital region at the start of the pubic hair area (loin/lumbar area). I am now really worried and would like to know what that could be, before I go to a doc as it is quite embarrassing.
