vaginapagina | Sebacious zits? (Reply)

I've looked into the archives and have found some useful stuff about my problem, but I'm still kinda freaked about the lumps in the forest thing. The first time I found one, it was really close to being in my vag. I had it checked out and the doctor told me it was nothing to worry about and that it would go away (which it did), but she really didn't explain to me what it was. It didn't hurt and I didn't know it was there unless I felt it with my finger.

I'm not sure it was the same as what I've been suffering lately (and if it really is what I'd believed to be snatch pimples, I've been suffering them for a while, even before I started having sex).

I was found std-free since before I found the first one (but hadn't changed partners yet), but since the last time I was checked out, I've had unprotected sex. I know I should go get checked again, and I will, but I just need to lose a little tension.

Ugh, this post is scattered.

Okay, I usually get these pimpley lumps that are sometimes rather large and painful to be merely pimples. The big ones are always among the pubes, and the smaller ones (like, pea sized) tend to appear on the labia (that's the outer lips, right?). They feel pretty solid for pimples, but I have popped them before and they gush like zits (big zits filled with lots of pus and clear stuff). They hurt when I touch them (like a pimple in the ear hurts).

Is this anything to be horribly horribly worried about? When I read about stds, they always say that sores appear, but there's no mention of zits. When I read about sebacious gland inflamations or sebacious cysts, it seems to fit the bill a little more. How long do these things last?

I don't know if this is related, but it is very abnormal that I get stressed about things, and April was a very (very) very stressful month. My face has been breaking out in zits, too, and that never happens either.

I currently have two lumps: one in my fur and the other on my labia. The appeared when the month's stresses were just starting to calm down.

Another thing I need to mention: The first one, in the pubes, I think I felt it forming. I had scratched an itch down there, and felt a bit of a pinch, so I kept my hand on it, and I swear I could feel a lump swelling, and there it was. What's it all mean? It's driving me nuts just thinking about it!
