Swelling on mons pubis area of vagina

[Pondlife87]

Hello everyone,

I have had a swelling on my vagina since the beginning of pregnancy (25 weeks) I think it's an ingrown hair. It doesn't look swollen, but i can feel the fluid under the skin, and it has shifted to be more central. The doctor was reluctant to give me antibiotics as I'm pregnant, but it's getting worse.
I have been using magnesium sulphate for the last two days but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I am about to have an epsom salt bath.
Has anyone else had this, or antibiotics for something when pregnant.
Can anyone suggest anything else?
Thank you
Gemma

I had a boil there once and what worked wonders was to get a cotton pad and soak it with water as hot as bearable and press it there. I did it a few times and it just went (can’t remember if it disappeared or burst but either way it was surprisingly quick and easy).

Was your boil visible, or under the skin? X

It was under the skin but it rose to the surface when I applied cotton pads soaked in hot water. I’d had it for ages and it was really painful. If nothing else the heat will probably kill bacteria and not do any harm (please don’t burn yourself though!)

Thank you so much. I will give it a go :)
