Any changes to the vulvar area should be checked out by your doctor. Most of the time it is nothing serious, but the sooner you have it looked at the better it will be for you. I had a little cyst like pimple that I ignored for almost a year, thinking it was nothing and it was cancer, which is very rare, but I have learned that many conditions of the vulva can progress into other serious problems...not necessarily cancer, but problems just the same. Please do not wait, call tomorrow, it will put your mind at ease.All women should check their vulvar area monthly, just as they do for the breast, it is important!

Hope you are doing o.k., please post to let us know you are o.k.

I totally agree with funbeadgirl deffinatly get this checked. Not to worry you but anything that is a lump like area should be checked. I had what I thought was a cyst and let it go for oer a year and in june had to have a partial vulvectomy forVIN 3. I dont want this to alarm you but you should wave on the safe side and get it checked soon hun.......    If not for nothing else it will help ease your mind........
