labia cyst?
After my shower a few days ago i noticed a "bump" on my right labia, it is slowly getting larger and it is not an external bump like a pimple, it is under the skin. Any ladies have any advice or should i try to get an appointment ASAP with my GYN? It is sore to the touch and red. No drainage or anything.
I noticed a small 'pimple" like bump on my outer labia in the shower 24 hours ago, at the time it was not painful. Tonight it appears to be getting bigger, not painful but tender to touch. I have read all 140 plus comments, and it appears to be a cyst. I hope I do not have to "pop" it, I am trying warm tea bags to see if will resolve/reabsorb, since it is small. I have never had anything like this before, and I am 52 years old and going through peri- menopause. I will keep you posted on my results.
I have had a large labial cyst that came up very fast. Unlike other folks I became very sick with this. My doctor gave me oral antibiotics that did not work and eventually sent me to the ER. The PA wanted to admit me and schedule the OR but she was overruled by the head of the ER, who insisted it be opened and drained on site. It was incredibly painful. (This cyst was about the size of a man's fist...) I continued on antibiotics, though when the culture came back, the antibiotics were changed, because it was resistant staph. I returned to an urgent care for follow up, where it was re-opened and packed and checked two more times. It is still not resolved and I am having surgery to have it excised in an OR by a general surgeon, and I still feel extremely sick! I noticed no one else has mentioned getting very sick from all this infection in the body. The PA who drained mine said she had never seen so much pus before, and the draining and scraping etc. took a very long time and it was excruciating. (Worse than a gall bladder attack or a broken leg, much less natural childbirth!) This is a condition that can get serious and hot compresses etc. did nothing toward bringing mine toward a head, The PA who opened mine said I'd have gone septic if I'd waited another 24 hours....
Do be aware this can become serious and complicated....

Hi everyone! I've enjoyed reading these posts. Unfortunately, out of the blue I felt a pain "down there" last night. It felt like a pubic hair was being pulled tight the wrong way and hurting. What a surprise - a HUGE painful bump that has transpired in less than 24 hours on my right inner labia majora! Seriously? I've had smaller ones before and have waited until they came to a head, but never one this big. It is very painful and actually hurts to walk! I tried to lance it twice with a sterile needle, but only blood came out. I guess I should try the hot bath tonight and wait? Obviously, as a full time working mom I cannot tend to "it" during the day. What is embarrassing is that I'm a cardiac nurse of 18 years, but I am totally NOT OB-GYN. Has anyone else experienced something like this appear so quickly? Any ideas?
I have had this unwelcomed visitor know for about 8 months, and the dr. told me it would go away and just in last few weeks it has gotten larger, I have read all the comments, my last resort is popping it...I unfortinitly do not have insurance and found out today that it was gunna cost about $700.00 to have it removed...I took a ladies advice and bought some vitamin and I am currently using it and sitting on a HOT towel...I pray this goes away cuz I am so sick of dealing with it!!
