Welcome to HCM
As you are diagnosed with bartholin's abscess,Black spots are the points of maximum pressure inside the abscess.It is the sign of impending rupture of the abscess at these points.
If it ruptures clean the affected area thourgohly.Continue full course of antibiotics.
Hope you are happy with the answer.
