<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???

Even in it does pop I think medical intervention will be required for the 'putting all the bits back where they live' bit.

Bloody fucking hell, that's enormous. Am wincing on your behalf.

Are you sure you're not actually turning into a man?

I think you may need to be prepared for an amputation from the waist.

If work want to know where you are just email that picture in.

notapizzaeater · 15/04/2014 20:13

Has it gone down at all with the anti b ? I think I'd just turn up to a and e tbh

DiaryofWimpyMum · 15/04/2014 20:14

oh that looks painful

DinoSnores · 15/04/2014 20:17

Gosh, that looks awful. If it is getting bigger over the course of the afternoon, I'd definitely think about A&E. You need booked on to tomorrow's surgical list!

As a junior doctor, I was taught, "If there's pus about, let it out!"

SauceForTheGander · 15/04/2014 20:17

I'm a picker, squeezer, fiddler but in not sure I'd touch that thing. It's got a blood supply. And its own gravity pull.

Poor you. Wine

ellenjames · 15/04/2014 20:19

I cant see it?

ElleBellyBeeblebrox · 15/04/2014 20:20

Holy shit. You poor thing. I don't think that's a DIY jobbie. Hoping you get sorted out soon it must be horrendous.

KoalaFace · 15/04/2014 20:24

If you're in agony for any reason they'll take you seriously.

PolkaSpottyDotty · 15/04/2014 20:26

I delay looking at my favourite subject thread while I put DCs to bed, and I missed the photo? I. MISSED. THE. PHOTO.

Obvs I hope it gets sorted ASAP. but not until I've seen the photo

VelmaD · 15/04/2014 20:27

Kato, they'd take you seriously. I was "that close" to phoning them at 3am last Tuesday, only thing stopping me was the kids asleep and im a single parent. Pain is horrible, as is lack of sleep. Have you tried laying in a bath? What painkillers are you taking?
