Question Vaginal cysts--TMI

Does anyone else get small white pimple-like cysts on their labia? I have them all over--mostly the hairless part around my vagina. Probably like 50 or more of them. They can sometimes be squeezed and a white creamy-like substance comes out.

My Gyn says they're nothing to worry about and I tell her they're ugly to look at. She says not to look at them, then. I'm not the really the one that might be looking at them. If I ever find a boyfriend again, that's who I don't want to see them.

I get those as well. I get them other places too. If they're the same thing as what I have other places then they're sebaceous cysts. Not a big deal unless it gets infected but annoying none the less.

I get cystic acne. It is really bad in my armpits but it seems to have improved completely. I definately have a problem with cystic acne and I've always felt it was related to the pcos. Sometimes I find ingrown hairs. And I have had some on my pussy but not often and usually one at a time. But they are like a hard little ball and sometimes do not even surface, and sometimes they will surface. I wonder what the hell it is?

Hi all! I used to have this problem, too! I'd get these hard, painful lumps under my armpits and on my labial area, along with lots of "pimples"/ingrown hairs around my waistline. I have been taking Met for a year and a half now, and limiting my carbs. I haven't had any cysts or pimples since then. I had to go off Met in May for about 4 weeks, and sure enough, the pimples started coming back!

I think you're talking about Bartholin Gland cysts. I had one last Thanksgiving--I freaked out and ran to my gyn, thinking I had some STD or something. He took one look and told me it was one of those cysts and to not worry. He said to take a hot bath and it would drain by itself and go away. If not, he could drain it there. It fortunately went away on it's own.

It was like a small pea inside the inner labia, and it hurt to touch it, but not really bad. I was more freaked out than in pain.

And I have no idea what the white pimple-like bumps are. Sorry.

Yeah, I sometimes have something similar. Don't know what to do about them, though. Sorry.

ok, so i looked up info on Sebaceous cysts and it is what I get sometimes under my arms and upper inner thighs. but i also get (in the same places) larger, red, swollen, painful cyst-like things that, if popped, have pus stuff and blood after the pus is drained. (sorry for the grossness of this explaination) anyone know what that is? it is the same thing i would get every once in awhile on my labia also.
