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???

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

How's it doing? Is it pulsing?
