Question

I have a bump like a hard small ball form on my inner labia. It has now formed a white head like a pimple. It is sore to the touch but wasn't at first?

Answer 1

See your doctor: This sounds like an inclusion cyst that maybe associated with an ingrown hair but if it has been going on for several years it is time to see someone who can examine it and may need to excise it to get rid of the bump.
