boil on vagina?

[starburst2000]

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?

Oh wow I'm 20 years and had this thing grow in me since I was like a teenager.
So I told my mom about it, I think I was like 14 and she said I should track when it occurs.
I did this but I didn't understand the point of it all and I continued to have them probably 3-4 times a year.
But now that I'm older I kinda figured that it only ever occurred when I gained weight, during my exam periods or if I have assignments to hand-in and especially if I'm on my periods.
Ultimately I realised I got them whenever I gained a whole lotta weight and by eating junk food.
I won't lie it still bothers me and I've never seen a doctor about it. But really it makes no difference coz I usually diagnose myself for everything.

Thought I'd also share my exprience.

Thank you for your comment, thats exactly what I'm going thru with right now.  It's on the inside of my lip far inside on the lip and it started oiut small then i realized it was growing and getting hard like a boil...I am using A&D ointment until I get to my MD and it seems to ease the pain but thankfully its only painful if I actually touch it, but washing it isnt so bad either.

I had a small bump start next to my lip(down there), i thought it could be an ingrown hair. I became pregnant and the dr was down there examing and never said a thing, it increased in size some but my obgyns never said a thing, that was some time  ago, i still have it, nothing was ever said and i never asked. Im scared of what it could be, i didnt know what to do about this since they never seemed worried about me having it. Its not painful but i know its there and im afraid of getting close to someone intimately
