<klaxon> grape sized lump... hurts to sit down...

Wahhhh...

I've had this lump on my labia for many years now, hard but painless.

Since a few days ago - I blame spin class - it's got really big, red and painful. It's the size of a large grape and is mostly hard. I've had mag sulph paste on it, germolene, hot baths, tentative squeezes... nothing - It's hard to dress too, thanks to the location.

I've had similar before, hence my mag sulph knowledge, but this just doesnt seem to be coming to a head, paracetamol and ibuprofen are not touching the pain.

Any ideas???

CheifSnotWiper · 16/04/2014 11:21

I hope it's been sorted and you're out of pain!

Annianni · 16/04/2014 11:22

Good luck Flowers

Good luck Kato that looks like agony

yegodsandlittlefishes · 16/04/2014 11:51

Hope all goes well and you have experienced relief and the end of the bollicle while I've caught up.

Friend had one on perineum which needed lots of after care. Really hope you won't need that too!

Hopefully you will have a GA and be home later today Flowers

UriGeller · 16/04/2014 12:21

Stitches or glue?

Whichever, its feet up, legs open and a bag of frozen peas for the rest of the day. Hope you feel better soon Smile

HappyHippyChick · 16/04/2014 12:28

O.M.G! That looks horrendous. You are hard as nails to cope with that Kato hope all goes well with the bollike-ectomy drainage

EasterSmegs · 16/04/2014 12:38

Oh my. That is one furious looking thing Shock

I hope you've been happily de-bollicled and are recovering with loads of painkillers now. Brew and Thanks.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 16/04/2014 12:42

Hope you're feeling better today. DH is a dentist so not an expert on fanjos obviously but knows about accesses etc. he was muttering darkly last night about the futility of giving antibiotics fir something so big and it needing drained. Particularly if it burst internally and couldn't drain naturally.

I obviously didnt post that last night as it's not very helpful! Glad you're being seen today

TenMinutesEarly · 16/04/2014 12:52

Hope it's all sorted now.

DenzelWashington · 16/04/2014 13:06

Cringe! And I thought a punch biopsy on my fanjo was bad! (overshares). I do hope bollicle is now dealt with.

CheckpointCharlie · 16/04/2014 13:06

Gosh hope all is going well and it's gone now!

GimmeDaBoobehz · 16/04/2014 13:09

I hope it's been drained by now - ouch.

MorrisZapp · 16/04/2014 13:10

Massive respect Kato, good luck x

BelleateSebastian · 16/04/2014 13:17

Denzil I had a punch biopsy on my fanjo too!! ouch (turns out I had Vitiligo on it!)

SouthernComforts · 16/04/2014 13:18

Wow that's worse than yesterday!! Hope your ok and the bollicle is gone by now

CambridgeBlue · 16/04/2014 13:32

I was browsing on here as you do while eating lunch and I had some crackers and cherry tomatoes - you know the nice firm ones that burst satisfyingly when you bite them... not so appetising while reading this and I really shouldn't have looked at the photo!

Glad you are getting sorted Kato, hope it gets less painful once the gunk's gone.

mumof5plusazoo · 16/04/2014 13:39

I hope your being sorted out now. Good luck x

Borntobeamum · 16/04/2014 13:48

?Touches knuckles?
Huge respect Kato x

DenzelWashington · 16/04/2014 13:49

Hideous, isn't it Belle?

rednellie · 16/04/2014 13:57

So glad it's getting sorted. Poor Kato. Sad

Quinandthem · 16/04/2014 14:00

Just had to change password and log in to wish you the best of luck (and see the photo).

Hope you're getting some proper drugs now.
