This has happened 4-5 times in the past
year--over the course of a few days, my
clitoris gets very itchy, then sensitive
and itchy, then pus appears; eventually it
breaks opens and drains, sometimes with
very small amounts of blood. The whole
thing seems to run its course in a few
days. It seems to occur after sex. I
already know I have HSV1, so thought it
was an outbreak, but the doctor who
treated it (the second time I had it) said
it's not HSV; that it was some kind of
skin infection. He simply prescribed an
antibiotic cream to put on it. It totally
heals up, but then within a few months, it
happens again. I feel stupid going to my
doctor, 'cause I've never heard of such a
thing. WHAT IS THIS???????!!!!!!!!!! It's
driving me nuts!

Thank You Posted: 10-28-07 20:07pm
I did go to urgent care this AM first
thing--glad I did. I guess I was afraid to
find out--but turns out that it IS an
infection caused by the fact that I have a
cyst-that's why it keeps happening over
and over. I'm taking a course of
antibiotics and will see my ob-gyn in a
few weeks for possible removal of the
cyst. I'm really glad i went--this has
been happening for a year now; I was
embarrassed and scared, thinking it might
be some weird STD or cancer or something.
thanks for your responses and support.
