Hello Anonymous,

Monistat is used to treat infections caused by fungus.

Symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection include
itching and irritation in the vagina and at the entrance to the vagina (vulva), a burning sensation, especially during intercourse or while urinating, redness and swelling of the vulva, vaginal pain and soreness and a thick, white, odor-free vaginal discharge with a cottage cheese appearance.

I am concerned about the lump. Please consult your gynecologist and schedule an appointment for a physical exam to determine what is going on.

Regards,
Maryann
