Question
Firstly, i am not sexually active. I have this lump on the pinky lip of my vagina, it's small about the size of a pea and it's hard to the touch. It's a mix between normal colour and purple sort of like it has blood underneath. When it burst it produced liquidy blood, it's not itchy or painful.
i have had a similar lump before that produced pus and sometimes blood. i don't have a regular doctor or anything and don't know who to see. can you tell me what it could be?
Answer
Well, first off, please stop messing with it and do not pop things. Second, no one can tell you what a lump is without seeing it, which is why we say - no questions about lumps and bumps. However... It may just be a pimple or boil, which you can get anywhere you have skin. If it is painful, try a warm bath or compress, and if it does not go away, see a doctor.
