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?

I have what seems like a genital boil, but it doesn't hurt....? No pain, just pus and a bump. Anyone have a suggestion? Is it the same as everyone else? Warm cloth and time?

wow this has been a while.....from my last post i visited another dermatologist and she placed me on another dose of antibiotics for 2 1/2 to 3 weeks....surprisely at the end of that course i bounced all around thinking that i was finally healed from the hard boil break-outs. After 4 weeks to about the fifth week of seeing my skin back to its normal smoothes i notice the break-outs again. Currently i am seeing a herbalist who is treating me for herpes simplex! i don't accept this report........but determine to get rid of this skin irritation i am trying out the herbal treatment! today is the starting of my 4th session of herbal treatment (tablet, oniment, tea bag, lotion) and the is mutliple break-outs.....not as severe as the first. i am so trying to cope with all this.....any help!!!!

I use hibiclens in those areas too and I find relief from the pain with using Boil ease and black drawing salve (It smells bad) but works wonders. It will come to a head and pop after two applications, usually about one day. Keep gauze in that area because you will need it. I called my doc and he prescribed doxycycline antibiotic. I don't now how this is going to work because I've only been taking it for one day now. But I will let you all know if it does work for me.Just keep the area padded up and cleaned well and discard down the toilet or burn all of the items you use to pad the spot and squeeze out all of the pus until it becomes clear red blood only.
