Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The white head is suggestive of impending rupture of an abscess, which has developed over a week.
I would advise such a patient to consult a Gynecologist for confirmation of this and to go ahead for proper incision and drainage, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines, to be followed by meticulous dressing and see there is no recurrence.
