Why Do I Have Painful Hard Knots In The Vaginal Area?
I awoke to some painful hard knots on the outside of my vaginal area. One has ruptured. It looked like a large black head. There s a couple more that have developed. One on the opposite side has a head and is really painful. I m diabetic and have lymphedema in both legs. Please advise.

Hi,
It seems you have developed multiple skin abscesses, secondary to hair root infection. The condition worsens with uncontrolled diabetes. You should get antibiotic and a careful control of blood sugar. Please consult your physician.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
