Suggest Treatment For Painful Lump On The Labia Minora

Over a week ago I discovered a lump on what I assume to be my labia minora when I squeezed it during the week it, sometimes i would feel it break down and puss would come out, it is hard to squeeze and painful when I do. I squeezed it today and it was painful and a tiny bit of puss came out at the most like tiny. I had my period from 14-21st of May and I use maxi pads I heard it would be friction from the pads? I am not sexually active the only time I engaged in intercourse was start of February and a condom was used. I find myself squeezing it and not much or nothing coming out it just painful if I squeeze it hard. I used used the shower head to clean it. I don t know if it is an ingrown hair or not because I don t see any hair there that I can pluck out. I am extremely worried about this.I am terrifiedand hope I don t have to see a doctor. Please help I am terrified. Is there anything I can do?!!

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

Your problem can be most likely Bartholinitis. You can apply hot fomentation on the lump. Antibiotic therapy will be required of it is not disappearing by hot fomentation alone. In case it is not responding to antibiotic therapy then incision and drainage will be required.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nishad B. N., General & Family Physician
