Suggest Treatment For Painful Lump On Labia Majora
I have a hard, painful lump on my left labia majora. I used warm/hot compresses last night, soaked in an epson salt tub this afternoon, and even have applied ice for a while. I m not sure if it s an infected hair folicle or something worse. A friend s daughter had a bartholin cyst,but this is not inside the vagina, it s more near the top, left outer lip. What should I do?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having ingrown hair follicle infection producing abscess.
you might require one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine for 5days.
Consult your doctor and get examined as soon as possible as once pus is formed, you might require excision and drainage of abscess.
Ok and take care.
