What causes a lump to grow at the vaginal opening?

The term "vaginal opening" refers to the external entrance of the vagina. The appearance of a small fleshy lump at the vaginal opening may result from poor genital hygiene or vaginitis. Additionally, such lumps could be caused by vulvar eczema. Furthermore, when the genital area is infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV), it is common for abnormal tissue growths or skin tags to develop in the region. If a fleshy lump at the vaginal opening persists for a prolonged period without disappearing, it is important to visit a hospital and undergo a gynecological examination to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
