<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???

Ouch!

Glad you got to the docs ok. How badly is it hurting now? Have the antib's made any difference?

KatoPotato · 15/04/2014 18:27

Right it's there... For reference it's about the length if my pinkie finger now

Would be surprised if antibiotics touch that. . . . suspect you 're heading for incision and drainage .

TessTackle · 15/04/2014 18:37

No crying. Soon it will be gone and quite right too. x

GeraldineFangedVagine · 15/04/2014 18:41

You are so going to hospital tommorrow for an incision and drainage. Poor you it must be super painful. Dont squeeze it you could end up with a systemic infection.

Sparklingbrook · 15/04/2014 18:42

I am finding it a bit Sad that the GP thought ABs would sort it out, but miracles can happen.

ophiotaurus · 15/04/2014 18:43

Oww that does look really sore. I hope antibs kick in soon. It doesn't look the sort that comes to a head.
Flowers hope it disappears soon.

AnnieIncognito · 15/04/2014 18:44

I feel your pain Kato. I had a sebaceous cyst on my labia a few months ago and it was torture (and I was sporting a cherry tomato, not a bollock). As daft as it sounds, I stuffed one of DS' nappies down my pants and it really helped. It provided a bit of cushion and caught ... ahem ... drainage.

Feel better!

Doinmummy · 15/04/2014 18:46

Been lurking!! I can't see the pic

notapizzaeater · 15/04/2014 18:47

Snap, can't see the picture and I've had to log in the web site ((mutters as to why you can't see pictures on iPads ......))

SauceForTheGander · 15/04/2014 18:48

Have I missed the picture? Curses!

How's it doing? Is it pulsing?
