Today I Got This Awful Pain Down I’m My Lady
Question: Today I got this awful pain down I’m my lady parts. When I went to go check it out I noticed one of my labias was swollen and I could feel but not see a bump. It hurts constant, kind of like an incoming pimple when you press on it but a constant feeling. Could it be a pimple?
Brief Answer:
It could be an abscess
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
Pain and swelling in labia could be due to abscess in a cystic lesion like sebaceous or Bartholin's cyst. If it does not regress by itself, then it needs to be removed surgically. It should not be pinched to avoid the spread of infection in subcutaneous tissues.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
