TMI?? Lump in vulva

JayLynne

So I’ve noticed in the past few weeks that there is this small lump in my vulva kind of in the crease between the labia majora and minora right next to the clitoral hood. The thing is it’s not like it’s coming up from the skin like a pimple, it’s like embedded deep in the flesh I guess?? I can only feel it if I press down and feel around for it. Any ladies experience this? I’ve been waiting to see if it goes away but I don’t know if I should ask my mother to see a gynecologist. I thought it might possibly be a swollen lymph node since i’ve been sick but even so lymph nodes are more towards the inner thigh than in the vaginal area themselves. I’m 17 by the way and currently my period is 8 days late. I’m really throwing up question marks here
