Okay so, I'm 15, not sexually active, and never been to the gyno. About a week ago I got a UTI. Around that time a small lump appeared on the clit. It has grown in size since then (this started around monday or Tuesday ((its now Saturday)) and has started to become quite painful. Its raw and hard to the touch, it hurts when my legs are close together (which has become quite inconvenient since now i have to sit with my legs farily open). Im worried it could be something bad. Should I see a doctor? If so can I go to a regular ER or do I need to make an appointment for the gynaecologist? Im not sure If i can wait till Monday to get it checked, my pain tolerance is really low lol. Another thing, I really hate talking about these kinds of things because im awkward and shy. i have not yet told my Mom because I have no idea how to bring it up.

Hello, Anon.
Thank you for posting.
If you are not sexually active it's likely a cyst or even a pimple. Sebaceous cysts are less likely to cause pain. A Bartholin's cyst can (sometimes) leak a clear, mucus-like liquid or pus, and in some instances, they're not filled with fluid at all. These cysts can be painful, but they sometimes go away on their own after soaking in a warm bath over a few days. That said, if you're in pain or having trouble sitting or walking correctly, see a gynecologist. They can drain it for you or prescribe antibiotics, depending on what it is after they examine you. If you feel you cannot wait, you can see if there are any walk-in in clinics in your area such as Doctors Express of Urgent Care.
