Fanjo Lump - Way TMI!!

NC but very regular poster...

What fresh hell is this?! Started as a tiny, tiny sore spot between the inner & outer labia (I think that's the technical term) on one side last weekend. I'd say it's doubling in size by the day and becoming increasingly painful and is now about the size, shape & texture of half a grape! WTF is it?

Dr google tells me it's potentially a sebaceous cyst, or a bartholians cyst, although I'm not sure it's in the right place for the latter..

There's no head this beast as such so nothing to squeeze, it really bloody hurts!

Do I just need to wait it out and it will go? Please say it will go, very soon!

Considering the fairly rapid increase in size and that is it becoming painful, it sounds like a Bartholin's abscess. Very common and a nuisance. It might burst on it's own - try sitting in a hot bath and having a bit of a squeeze. If not it might need incision and drainage or a Marsupilisation procedure. If it continues to get bigger and most sore, and doesn't burst, then see your GP.
Sorry.

Hot compress and magnesium sulphate paste

Abscess. Hot baths and put magnesium sulphate on it before bed for a few nights. It will probably burst or just go down of its own accord. It is not in th3 right place for a Bartholin's cyst, from what you have described.

Oh jeez, you're confirming my fears! Thanks though! Grin

Where do I get magnesium sulphate from? What is it? A cream? **I'll go & google now!
