not green, or like a marrowfat! Its hard but I can move it a bit, sort of round with a white head but will not pop (as if its a lump of hard pus insisde) Its on the inside of the smooth shiny skin on my outer labia.

Sorry TMI folks. Am going Doctors about something else tomorrow, might try and pluck up the courage to ask her. Blush.

Hello. I've no idea what it is, but please do ask your GP - he/she can best advise. Don't ignore it and frighten yourself with 'what ifs'

Bartholin's cyst?

sounds like a Bartholin's cyst to me. V common, and nothing to worry about. Ask your GP though for confirmation.

It sounds a bit like a cyst, like Ruched says.

I've had these before and they've gone eventually - a hot flannel does wonders to get the bastard to go down.

If you're worried, go and see your GP or nurse. I was embarrassed when I went to the doc about one but she was incredibly matter of fact about it.

Bartholins Cyst

Try a warm bath with a cup of salt in it, it can help to bring it to a natural conclusion.

They usually go of their own accord but I quite enjoy popping mine Blush
