What Causes Boil On Labia Minora?

Hi, I have recently found one boil like pimple, no white head yet on my labia minora next to my clitoris, so on the inside during my period week. I am concerned because this doesn t seem to be going away and is only getting sorer. What could this be?

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com. Sorry to hear about your pain. What you have is most probably called Bartholin's cyst or abscess, which is a back up of fluids from glands near your vaginal opening. The cysts can thus get infected most commonly my E.coli. This is at times non tender but can get very painful. It is normally treated with sitz baths. If you have tried this remedy for 3-4 days and it has not helped then you need to have it looked at by a doctor. I hope this helps you out, good luck and let us know if we can answer any follow up questions.
