Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Infected Bartholin Cyst
Question: I have had a bump on my inner labor for a few days now. It hurts when I touch it. I popped it yesterday after having to use a good amout of force. A little white stuff came out with clear and blood. It felt better. Then it was puffy again lastnight so I took a hot bath. After It looked like it needed to be popped again so I did. At first it was clear liquid and blood a then deeper with more force I got a small hard white nodule. I have no other symptoms. And it doesn't look like herpes... Could it still be?!
