Suggest Remedies For A Painful Red Bump On The Vagina
Question: Hello, I have an unsightly painful red bump on my vagina, and it is painful to the touch. I was wondering if I could send a picture of it via email to see what it might be. How do I submit the picture?
Brief Answer:
Vaginal furuncle
Detailed Answer:
Hi
greetings
I have seen the picture,though not very clear ..Since it is single and painfull to touch ,looks like a folliculitis or a vaginal pimple .
Since it has formed a small abscess (collection of pus) it may hurt you .It is about to burst and then antimicrobials like amoxicillin or cephalexon group has to be taken for 5to 7 days with local application after thorough cleaning. these are prescribed medicine by doctor.
If it is distressing ,consult a gynaecologist and get an incision and drainage followed by antimicrobials.
Try to keep that area moisture free.It is better to use cotton underwear and in the night not to wear ,to keep the area dry.
Hope you are convinced. Regards

Hello,

Hello, I appreciate your quick reply and help. I have removed the old photos and added a couple new ones as it got somewhat worse. I just wanted to make sure it didn't look like herpes or something like that, as it doesn't seem similar to the picture. I was also wondering how I should stop the rash from spreading thanks.
