Vaginitis: If there is an associated discharge a yeast infection may be present and these can be passed back and forth between sexual partners. Your pharmacist can recommend a vaginal antiyeast cream and/or suppositories to try. Ask your partner if he has penile itching and,if he does,treat him.. If you have no significant discharge you may have lichen sclerosus which your gynecologist can diagnose.and treat

Accepted Answer

Sounds like: It sounds like you have an abscess, or possibly an infected (or abscessed) bartholin;s gland, depending on where the mass is.  Definitely sounds like an infection.  You can try applying warm compresses to the area several times a day, which encourages the abscess to drain on it's own, but if it doesn't drain, or resolve on it's own, then you need to see a doctor about antibiotics or drainage.
