Large swollen painful bump on the outer lips of vagina

Since yesterday I've had a large swollen bump on the labia majora..it's very painful, it hurts to walk or sit.  I've been putting warm cloth on it and it seemed to help with the swelling but it's still really painful.  I don't really want to go to the doctor because I just don't have the money right now, and I feel like it would be a waste if it's something that I can take care of on my own.  Anyone else ever experienced this before? What can I do to ease the pain? All I've done today is lay in bed because it hurts too much to do anything else.

Try using a special hair removal cream just for the vaginal area.  It keeps hair bumps away.

ok so i have this hard lump under the skin on the lip of my vagina towards the bottom. its about the size of a grape. I've been squeezing the **** out of it since last night when i found it, but only some blood came out. it hurts really bad and is extremely swollen. what the **** is this thing and what should I do. I'm currently in a hot bath which is bringing down swelling a little but the lump is still the same size and hard and hurts upon touch

Omg I get these too sometimes. I'm always tempted to pop them like pimples but that always makes them come back worse and usually bigger. So the best thing to do is leave them alone. If it's really big and hurts I put benzoyl peroxide on the bump/pimple thing and you have to be really careful because I'm pretty sure if that stuff gets in your vagina it won't be good. But yeah, the benzoyl peroxide makes them go away in a week or two and is really cheap at like any store in the acne section it's about $2-4. Just DONT POP IT because it will only get worse and scar. If you don't want to put the benzoyl peroxide on it just leave it alone to go away on its own.

OMG,I have one . It seems to be getting bigger. It doesn't hurt when I squeeze it but, it does hurt. I had one before and I popped it. But, I can't remember what I did to make it come to a head. I have been putting Triple antibiotic ointment on it. God I pray

Do not wax,  trim it .  apply ice.  Wash with mild soap lukewarm water.  Coconut water,  drinking lots of water and vitamins e capsules helps a lot.  Wear loose cotton clothes.  No jeans no leggings and make sure ur underwear is of cotton. Change twice a day.  Get anti bacterial powder like absorb or candid and apply it everyday twice.  Make sure you drink a lot of water . and contact a really good gynaecologist asap.  Tc.
