Vulva lump please help

[BabyGoatsInPyjamas]

Sorry TMI

Can someone advise? I had a pea sized tender lump beside my clitoris all day today, not a Bartholin cyst. It’s now tripled in size and I’m close to tears. It’s throbbing. I’ve taken ibuprofen and I’m gonna put a hot compress on

Can anything else help? It must be a sebaceous cyst maybe infected. I’ve never felt pain like this I can’t walk or sleep

I get these a lot, as PP said if I'm run down especially. They go shiny and smooth like malteaser size and they really hurt! Can't wear jeans etc. I give it a quick squeeze every hour or so and it makes it come to a head a bit quicker. Boiling hot clean flannel on, and once it heads up pop it. Hurts like all hell but as soon as it's done the relief is amazing.

A good hot bath might help OP?
Don’t be afraid to go back if you are feeling really rough.

I am fucking miserable. It's my DS birthday tomorrow when I stand up I can feel it throbbing

Would sudocrem help bring the head up? Main ingredient is zinc.

Sorry you are in so much pain op, it sounds awful. Hope you feel some relief soon!

Hope it’s popped now OP. If not I’d ask for more medical help.

It probably need to be lanced. I had one of those and it didn't have a "head" as it was deeper in the skin. When it was lanced the pain stopped imediately.

i get these when im run down, i get in a hot bath and squeeze it, doesnt seem to hurt as much if i do it in the bath. (still bloody hurts)
Could you bear to do this?

How are you doing now? Have a low threshold for going back to the doctor if you are feeling unwell in yourself.

I went to a and e again

They lanced it. I cried

And the fucker has filled back up again

Oh poor you! That’s really quick for it to fill back up. I get magnesium sulphate paste from the chemist, which brings it to a head.

Oh no! Bastard thing!

Ouch 😱

Does anyone else remember the last bollickle thread?

Nasty OP, I imagine it's very fucking painful.
I hope it clears up for you soon.

I remember katopotato and her follicle bollicle.
Op can you go back? I'm sorry you're in so much pain.

I'm prone to cysts. You have my sympathies OP.

I use Epsom salts in my baths. Every single day.

They work miracles with me. Reduce gold ball cysts to nothing within 24 hours.

Are you on antibiotics?

I'm sorry you've had a horrible time love.

I keep a supply of fine medical needles, alcohol wipes, and nitrile gloves, as I sometimes get cysts in delicate places, despite being clean as fuck. I know this isn't something everyone can stomach, but I have sat in a hot bath and lanced things myself. Relieving the pressure helps with the pain a lot. It's not unusual for them to fill up again, but after the lancing, you can drain them fairly easily and clean up with alcohol swabs.

My pain threshold is pretty high but these do make me wince a bit when I have had to lance them.

This is where I get my things from:

I trundled along with something similar and got given hardcore antibiotics. Felt better within twelve hours. Your A and E are bastards.

Magnesium sulphate, flannel as hot as you can stand. I feel for you OP, I used to get these loads and they are extremely uncomfortable and make you feel really unwell.

Thanks so much everyone

I have antibiotics. I've barely slept all weekend, I'm in bits. Today is DS 4th birthday and I'm doing the brave face whilst hobbling about the house thing

Absolutely miserable

I have been a bit run down recently, maybe it's related

I've had to resort to a jug when I pee because I can't even touch the area with toilet roll

Oh no sorry to hear your still in pain op :( i know it hurts but have you tried the hot flannel/bath and squeezing it again yourself. Was the only way mine go away really hurts but the relief once done was amazing x

Hope the antibiotics have kicked in now.

Hi 👋🏼

I went to my own GP this morning

I have improved

I'm still sore, and a bit swollen but I can now sit down without wailing like a waily thing

One of the worst experiences of my bloody life my DS was 9lb 10oz

Honestly, shocking carry on

I hope none of you ever go through that

Been through it at fifteen, was so embarrassed being raised in a home where you did not talk about things like that. I was run down which is why I think it happened.

Hi sorry to jump on I'm in a flap I have a lump on the right side of my clit (sorry spelling ) it's not painful i have suffered from cervaceous cysts for a number of years ( face thigh leg breast) all at different times one required a op due to rupture internally I got sepsis I'm panicking because I googled it and it's coming up with cancer sti please can someone help

Reblerunner - not really. You'd be better off speaking to a doctor. Where are you? Can you call NHS direct? Or go to a walk in centre?
