A member asked:
Is a blocked sebaceous gland on labia dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It can be uncomfortable at times and embarrassing at times. You should apply very warm (not hot) compresses for 3-4 minutes at a time for about 5 times per day to see if it goes away. If still persistent and symptomatic after 3-4 days of this, then see your gynecologist for evaluation.
