Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to bartholinitis or bartholin cyst. This occurs due to blockade or infection of ducts of bartholin glands. Keeping good genital hygiene is the best way to prevent this. Infection can spread from the anal side also. Do washing in back ward direction to prevent this. You can also use intimate wash to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH to prevent getting such infections. Hot fomentation and betadine ointment application is helpful for these boils and cysts.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
