Lump in vaginal area Posted: 04-09-08 22:33pm


I had developed a kind of bump on one side and it was sore and red. It wasn't really like a pimple though, it felt hard under the skin, almost like a pea under my skin. I have found this might be an abscess or boil and am wondering if this sounds true? I soaked in warm water last night then applied antibiotic and it made it go down and the hardness seems to have gone away. The main bump had popped though, and another came up. But after soaking it last night, they are both dramatically better. Could someone tell me if this sounds like a boil? I had a wax a couple of weeks ago and thought it might have brought it on. Any advice on this subject?

Have you been having any unprotected sex? If so, have your partners been tested for stds? Not to cause a scare or anything, but if your partners haven't been tested you should go to a doctor and get it checked out just to make sure. How big is the bump? It could possibly have something to do with waxing; maybe an ingrown hair causing it. Have you ever been waxed before? It's hard to say. There could be bumps for many reasons; only a doctor can tell you exactly what it is. Sorry I can't be of more help!
