Abcess on labia? Please help
This morning was very normal, nothing wrong down there. About an hour or so ago I began itching around my clit, but just gave it a good scratch through my jeans and moved on until it itched again. After a few scratches it began to hurt? Almost like a burning but not really. I went to go pee and I look down and there's a f**** luMP ON ME?? I'm very concerned. I looked it up and it seems to be an absess, but I have no idea how it could have happened, since it wasn't there this morning. Do you think it's just swollen? I havent been sexually active in a few weeks and I am very clean down there. Please help me
Hi,
Do not attempt to pop or drain this lump, but you can try a few things to help it heal faster. First, mix a half teaspoon of salt with about a gallon of very warm water, then take a clean wash cloth and dip it into the salt-water solution, wring out excess water, and then apply cloth to the lump for 5 to 10 minutes ~ do this 4x daily. You might also consider using Tea Tree Oil ( it's sold almost everywhere); dip a cotton swab in the oil, then apply the oil to the lump 4x daily until the lump is gone. Wear cotton underwear and loose fitting clothing so that you don't over irritate the lump any further. If it becomes large, painful, and symptoms worsen I suggest you have it looked at by a doctor right away. Good Luck

Update: my dishcarge is still pretty normal, but on the verge of being milky.
