What Causes A Sore Lump Between The Vagina And Rectum?

I have had a sore lump between the vagina and rectum for over a week. It got harder, then I squeezed it and a lot of puss came out. I thought it might of been a boil or ingrown hair and would be better now that I popped it. It still is very sore, ,, what should I do at home because I don t have health insurance?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Such a lump between anus and vagina having pus and soreness can indeed be an infected boil with pus formation but can be beginning of a fistula in ano.
This can be diagnosed by only a proper per- rectal digital examination, proctoscopy and ultrasound or MRI .
In spite of no insurance you have to this done and a visit to a doctor is needed to get a clinical evaluation, examination and to get a proper prescription of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medications, proper cleaning of area with betadine and sterile dressings.
I find this answer helpful
