Suggest Remedy For Abscess On Labia Majora

what home remedies do you recommend for an abscess on the labia mijora aside from going to the ER? is there a topical local anesthetic I can rub for the pain? like ambesol or something like that? the skin is really tender and thin to where I can pop it on my own if I can get past the tenderness to the head which is visible

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely Bartholin abscess.For my patients with such cases i do incision and drainage with a local anesthetic.It is a very small incision.so you dont need to worry.I also advise antibiotics like clindamycin.I recommend them to use intimate wash regularly to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH and there by prevent getting further infections.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
I find this answer helpful
