Suggest Treatment For Scar Caused By A Bartholin Gland Removal Surgery

Posted on Thu, 21 Jan 2016

Question: Hi.. 18mths ago I had both of my bartholin glands removed because of constant abseses. I have extensive scaring on my right side because I had to have 2 ops to remove the whole gland and I had a post op infection of pseudomonis. In the last week my scars have became quite sore and I have found a lump that is quite painfull. Feels like a constant burning where the lump is. Would it be possible for a small piece of gland to lay dorment till now?
