How To Treat Bruise And Scab On Inner Labia Caused After Popping A Lump?
I popped a pea sized ingrown hair just on the inner labia majora while I was showering. I believe I took off a layer of skin because now, a day later, the initial lump is gone but replacing it is swollen skin, the size of an oval that is completely white and blistery like, I touched it and the blistery skin can sort of lift up or slide. The middle has a red blood dot, almost like a scab.Is this where the removed skin is healing or something else?

Hi,
You need to have a physical examination by gynecologist. You seem to have punctured an abscess of Bartholin gland abscess in labia minora. This needs to cleared completely followed by a course of antibiotic as per need. Consult a gynecologist.
