A member asked:

What does it mean when you have a red swollen bump with a white puss center on your labia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Infected labia cyst: Labia cysts do not frequently prove to be harmful, other than a mild discomfort in some cases. However, in few cases they can grow into tumors, which must be checked regularly. In case a cyst becomes problematic, surgery is the only option. For an infected cyst, your doctor will prescribe appropriate antibiotics.
