How Can Painful Boil On The Labia Be Treated?
I have a boil on the upper part of my labia. I have used moist heat for two days and no progress in it draining. The area is 2 x 2, hard, extremely painful, and my temp has been running 100. Should I go to ER or an after hours care facility? Thank you, Judy

Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
It looks like to be Bartholini cyst and it should be treated surgically by incision and drainage since antibiotics may not be efficient enough so you should consult gynecologist about further steps.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
