What Causes Swelling And Burning Sensation In The Vaginal Area?

Can be a Bartholin's cyst.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The swelling hanging out of the vaginal area can be a Bartholin's cyst. t is formed when a Bartholin's gland is blocked, causing a fluid-filled cyst to develop. Bartholin's cyst is not an infection, although it can be caused by an infection, inflammation, or physical blockage (mucus or other impediment) to the Bartholin's ducts (tubes which lead from the glands to the vulva).
If infection sets in, the result is a Bartholin's abscess. If the infection is severe or repeated a surgical procedure known as marsupialization may be required to stop further recurrences.
Now that t has burst open you need antibiotics to prevent infection and n case t swells again then you need to consult an OB-GYN for surgical treatment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
