Vagina boil

I have had what I believe to be a vagina boil inside of my vagina lip. I've had them on the outside many times but this one is much more tender and painful. I cannot get it to drain and it is large enough to hurt when walking. Is there anything i can do? I hate going to the doctor but this is painful so that may be my last resort.

Hi there.  I think it is important to see your doctor for this. Trying to drain a boil on your own like you have been (and it is not working) can lead to an infection!  They can lance it and be done with it and my start you on antibiotics as well.  No one 'loves' going to the doctor and especially for something like this . . .  but it's a necessary thing from time to time.  Bite the bullet and see your doctor.  good luck

I get these also the hot water baths are great. If not I would go let the doc drain it.
