Suggest Treatment For Painful Bump On Vagina And Frequent Urination
hello, i am a 19 year old female. i just recently discovered a dime sized bump on my outer genital area. it is very painful to the touch and tender, it is hard and there is no head on it. i have been urinating a lot more than usual lately and even after i urinate i still feel i have to go, i dont know if that has anything to do with this but i thought i should add it at least. i am sexually active but have been tested recently for STDs. i would greatly appreciate any help you can give me! thanks :)

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that it may be an infected hair follicle or an abscess (localized collection of pus).
Treatment may involve: (1) cleaning with an antiseptic
(2)apply warm compress to precipitate discharge
(3)an antibiotic would be needed
(4)it is possible, if it is an abscess then incision and drainage may be needed
I hope this helps
