I discovered a pea sized lump under the skin of my left labia majora. I don't know whether it is a cyst or what, but I am very worried. It is painless and if I touch it, it moves around. Can someone answer my question I am very concerned

You are correct to be concerned, please make an appointment with your doctor

The problem is I am too embarrassed to go and tell my mother.

Why embarrassed? Doesn't she have similar body parts?

Are you under her insurance and are a minor?

Yes. And it's just one of those things:(

Please don't be embarrassed to tell your mother. This is faily common, and a doctor will know what to do. I am not a doctor, nor a professional in this area. But, I have had something similar, and it turned out to be not serious. It was removed, painlessly, and now I am fine. That was 50 years ago! This might not be the same, but there is nothing wrong with telling your Mom and asking her to take you to a doctor. If you can't afford it, some areas have free clinics. Your Mom just might be very glad you told her. Honesty and respect are very important. Try it, you'll like it.

You will have many female issues growing up, and talking to mom about them is part of it.
