Help
I have had a boil on my right lip of myvagina a few times. Mostly when i was pregnant. but they always went away. Its always the same spot. Once again i got another one in the same spot but that was a year ago. It has not gone away with any of the remedies i usually use for them. It has grown to the size of a golf ball & has gotten really hard. Im starting to think it isnt a boil & has maybe turned into something else like a tumor or cyst. This one feela like it even has a vein on it meaning its requiring blood...right? None of my other boils felt this way. They always went away within a few days. I dont know what to do. Somedays it hurts & burns more than other days. I dont have insurance so im asking for any kind of info. Like i said i dont think its a boil. Its been over a year & just grows doesnt get any better. Please help.

If it is a boil a fabulous OTC treatment is icthammol. It is a black tar-like substance that you pout on the boil and cover it with clean gauze. it will draw out the infection if there is some.
Honey, it could be an infected Bartholin's cyst!
They are relatively harmless but really painful and can swell up to the size of a lemon!
Does it look like that?

You can treat it at home with sitz baths when it is small but you should definitely have it checked. There are many ways an ob can treat it, don't worry.
