Suggest Treatment For Discomfort Due To Bump On Labia

Hello, I have a bump at the bottom of my left labia and have been experiencing some discomfort. In addition, this is probably the 3rd time that I ve received this. The bump over a few days will grow and then it will either go away or if I manipulate the area by applying hot compressed towel, it would bust with some pulse and a lot of blood. The area then is compromised and hurts to use the rest room because of the location of the wound(typically it would burn extremely bad). Can you tell me what this might be? I ve never had this issue before until a few months ago.

Hi
Its a localized infection called boil/ furruncle. You can apply hot compression, and also povidone iodine ointment which is an antiseptic. It would solve your problem
But please get your blood sugars tested, as these are common among diabetics.
