Bartholin's cyst?: There are glands called Bartholin's glands that can get plugged, causing a cyst about the size you describe. These can get inflamed and sore. They can even get infected. If it's a Bartholin's cyst, it would be along the side of your labia in the area shown in the picture. You should see a gynecologist if it doesn't get better.

Question 5

what causes a hard lump under the skin?

Accepted Answer

Several things: This is a problem that necessitates a face-to-face meeting with your doctor.  This will allow him/her to examine you, ask specific questions. And possibly order tests to find out what's wrong and what to do to help you.

Question 6

what could be a small lump under the skin on chest?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: If red & painful, we worry about abscess (pus pocket) or ingrown hair or pimple or infected sebaceous cyst. If not red and not painful, then could be uninfected sebaceous cyst or lipoma (fatty tissue), possibly even lymph node (don't know where on chest you're referring) as long as it is freely mobile and not fixed/hard/matted down. Best to check w/your family doc for evaluation.

Question 7

i have a lump under the skin near my anus. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Pilonidal sinus: There is a good chance it's a pilonidal sinus, particularly if it hurts. A substantial percentage of pilonidals resolve spontaneously; but it takes a long time. If you don't want to wait, or the pain level is too high, surgery is the best option. It's a fairly simple operation, but usually done in the hospital. Be aware that recurrences are common, even after surgery.

Question 8

ive found a movable lump under the skin to the left of my clitorus! should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

See below : Hi there, it’s best that you get checked out by your gynecologist as soon as posible

Question 9

i have a hard lump under the skin on my chest, had it for about 5 years, i am a 28 year old male.

Accepted Answer

Get it checked: A hard lump under this skin need not be an ominous sign. There are many causes from impacted hair follicles to sebaceous cysts to fibromas. All benign but to be safe its best to have a doctor examine the lump and simply excise it under local anesthesia and possibly sent it to pathology for sure identification

Question 10

i have a really hard lump under the skin on my right bumcheek at the top it causes pain when i put pressure on it ?

Accepted Answer

Sounds: consistent with an abscess.  In some cases, these must be treated with antibiotics and even drained to achieve relief.
