boil on vagina?

I am 35 yrs old and have only had sex with my husband for the past 9 years. A couple of days I had severe itching on the left lip of my vagina. Now there is something like a pimple but larger. The left lip is hard and has swelled to twice the size of the right. I have tried hot washcloth and also ice. I have gotten some pus to drain out but is still hard and VERY painful. I can haredly walk. I don't have insurance and just had a minor surgery (May 7) to remove a kidney stone. I had a stent in but it has been removed. The area is also very red.The hardness is not round but goes the length of my lip. Could this be a boil, herpes or what?

Hi Gogo, ever thought of going to your good old doctor, let him/her have a look at it, or if you shaved before this come up could be an ingrowing hair, the little buggers can do that, but just please get to your doctor.
Good Luck

Omg I'm in the same exact situation! Oh jeez, these boils get painful >.< I would get them and not notice it for probably around 2 or 3 days, then they begin to hurt. They come up about once every 2 months, even if I didn't shave recently. I currently have one that I've been trying to pop for hours because it's irritating, and what makes it worse is that I'm on my period -.- Ughh why is being a female so painful?? :'(
