swollen vagina lip
My right outer lip is swollen, itchy and it burns when I pee. I tried taking a warm bath but it burned even more when i was in the shower. It has been swollen from Friday and It hurts whenever i sit down, stand or move around. The other lip itches and burns too but only the right one is swollen. I put some A&D ointment on it but it still hurts. I don't know what else to do.

Hello,
It can be the start of a boil or a cyst. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. . Hair follicles that are blocked by greasy creams, petroleum jelly, or similar products are more vulnerable to infection. Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle. Treatment includes antibiotics and incision and drainage and do not touch or pick them up. Also apply warm compresses on the site.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
