Hi there,

I have had a similar issue. I kept constantly getting a bump on the outside of my vagina...kind of where my leg meets my vagina. It would hurt so bad and I would have to keep draining it. My dr took a sample and it was not and STD but I could squeeze stuff out of it. It still re-occurs to this day...mostly in the same spot but sometimes in different spots. It is so embarrasing and I hate it. It make me afraid to have sex out of fear he may think I am dirty or contagious. I have no advice for you ... I just wanted to let you know you are not the only one with embarassing issues like that. You are lucky that your boyfriend understands.
