I have a small puss filled bump on the outer lips of my vagina near the clitoris. I popped it and puss and blood came out. Is this something I should be worried about? I've had ingrown hairs before but never this painful and it has cause swelling of my clitoris

Hi,
This is likely to be a Bartholin's cyst that has become infected. I suggest you bathe the area in warm water 3 times a day. If it does not reduce in the next 24 hours you may need antibiotics so I suggest you see our doctor.
There is not much you can do to avoid recurrence other than ensuring good personal hygiene.
Regards,
Dr K A Pottinger
