I am a 19 year old female. I have a Large painful lump on the top of my vagina - by top I mean on the hood where the pubic hair grows. At first I thought it to be an ingrown hair, but I don t think that s possible now.. It s more painful under the skins surface. Hurts to wear clothing, or to even touch it. It s red, and a bit large. It seems to have been growing rapidly in size over the course of three days. I m not sure what caused it, how to treat it, or where to go to get seen by a doctor. I m hoping I won t have to, but at the rate the pain is increasing, and with the size enlarging, it s hard for me to walk, sit, or even sleep. - I may just have to go to the doctor. I think it might be a cyst.. does this sound right? Please if you have any diagnosis s or any kind of at-home treatments I can try before going to the doctor, please... PLEASE enlighten me!
Hi, From history it seems that there might be having some ingrown hair follicle infection and now producing forming abscess. Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5 days. Once pus forming started then it should be excised, so before pus formation is there, start antibiotic medicine as soon as possible. Take some anti-inflammatory medicine for 3 days to cut down infection fast. Ok and take care.
