Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely bartholinitis or infection of hair follicle. It is better to have a local examination with gynecologist to rule out that. Warts are usually presented as out growths. If you send a picture of that then i can comment on it more. Warm compress with a hot towel will be helpful in relieving inflammation and pain. Local application of betadine ointment will help also. If infection is moderate to severe antibiotics will be required. If abscess is present then i advise incision and drainage. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query. Thanks
