When I was about 15, I started to get these lumps on the lips of my vagina right before and during my period.
Before my period, the place a lump would come would get really itchy. Then a lump or two would form, no more than two. They would itch BAD, so much so that I would sterilize a needle and lance them. Pus and gobs of blood would ooze out. Then the lumps would go away. They only happened right before and during my period. During all this, my vagina would turn sort of purple in color too.
I am now 18 and I still get these lumps. I have stopped wearing underwear, since I dont go to school anymore and other reasons, and Ive noticed that the lumps arent quite as severe. They itch, but I dont need to lance them. My vagina still turns a little purple though. So I think the underwear might have been a factor.
Do you know what these lumps are, their cause and cure? I havent told anyone, especially my mom because we dont talk about things like that in our house. Please can you give me some advice?
Thanks!

I don't know about the puss and all that cause I never tried to pop one, I just let them go away. I mean if you are worried talk to your doctor. I thought I was the only one that got it til I got to college and other girls had it too. A lot of weird stuff happens around period time, sore breasts, itchy vagina, pimples, stomach pains, vomiting, etc. Sometimes you get it after a really cold shower too. But if they got puss in em you should prolly go to the GYN just incase. Peace [ connieconfused's advice column | Ask connieconfused A Question ]
