What Is The Remedy For Large, Painful Pimple In Vaginal Area Above Clitoris With Swollen Vein Next To It?
I have what looks like a very large pimple in the vaginal area above the clitoris. It's hurts a lot. It appeared within a 2 hour time period and the vein to the right of it is enlarged and hurts even more. I'm not pregnant and it's not a varicose vein. There is no discoloration but it is very large. It hurts to walk or move since it is right in my pelvic/hip area. I don't know what to do without seeing a doctor. Help me?

Hi my dear,
It could be related to a deep abscess of the local hair follicle (carbuncle) which might need surgical drainage together with oral therapy.
I'd suggest to consult a surgeon or physician to get your pimple checked. Or, you can send the pictures of your current problems you have to me to assist you further!
Meanwhile, I'd suggest to;
- keep good local hygiene; wash with warm water and hypoallergic soap
- dry it well
- apply iodine
- then, apply oxygenated water
- then apply antibiotic ointment (black ointment is good to get the pimple drained)
You might also need to take oral antibiotics and to get checked for STDs if you are having discharge too.
All the best!
