<human>: Hi I have a small white hard bump on my labia minora. It started about 6 months ago and at first I thought it was a pimple and I did squeeze it and some white stuff came out. Then it went but for the past 4 months it s come back a bit bigger and it won t squeeze and doesn t come to a head or anything. It doesn t hurt or cause any discomfort I just have no idea what this is. I have been with my partner for 5 years also and nothing like this has happened before.
<bot>: Hello, I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns. Probable diagnosis : vaginal skin tagsDifferential diagnosis : molluscan/genital warts/Investigations : Biopsy(Rarely needed)Plan of treatment : Surgical excision/cryosurgery/laser ablation Outcome : Excellent As per your description it seems that you have a clinical condition called "vaginal skin tags", or it could be a "molluscan" also. There is no need to worry regarding this because both of them are benign(non-cancerous) and highly effective treatment options are available. Before commencing the treatment we have to rule out some diseases like genital warts and STDs(Sexually Transmitted Diseases)I suggest you to consult a gynecologist and get a "spectrum" examination (visual examination of your vagina) done to make a diagnosis. If there is any diagnostic confusion a biopsy may be needed to confirm the diagnosis. Many treatment options are available, and you can opt for surgical excision which is quite economical and easily available one. In advanced centers cryosurgery or laser ablation are available which are painless and highly effective, but cost may be a problem. Molluscum and genital wart are contagious, so it would be better to practice safe sex until you are disease free. Hope this helps. Regards. Chat Doctor.
