Q: 

What is this lump on my bikini line?

I have this lump on the lower left side of my bikini line - when I first felt it - it only ever came during my period (once or twice) and then it disappeared. However, in the last few months, the lump hasn't disappeared and the other day as I was trying to examine it. Not only is it sore to touch some times but I can press the lump and a milky yellow puss comes out until it turns milky yellow with some blood. I've done this a few times now and the lump shrinks.

Every 3 weeks or so, I do get a full brazilian wax done, I walk a lot to get to work and with my dogs. I use a solution called Caron bump eraser around my bikini region to remove bumps and in-growns. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Could this be all connected?

Hi Anon,

Gynecologist deal more with a woman's reproductive organs. Since this a concerned in your skin, a dermatologist would be the most appropriate.  He or she would be able to remove it, if necessary.

Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER.  The lump can be due to many things, from a skin infection to an ingrown hair.  Don't try treating it yourself.  It can turn out worst if you do. It's best to be seen by a dermatologist.  He will be able to remove the lump if necessary and help you find the right treatment for you.

Best,

Daisy

Hi DaisyN,
Thank you for the reply. I definitely need to go to a doc to get it sorted. I had a bit of a feel this morning and there seems to be a second lump. I'm not freaking out but am a bit worried. Do you think its a gyno issue?

Thank you
