What Causes Painful Boil Near Clitoris?

Hi. About a few days ago. While using the bathroom I wiped my vaginal area and it really hurt. Today I checked it out myself and It felt like a pimple/boil right above my clitorial hood and that whole area looks swollen and it hurt to walk and I can feel it rubbing against my underwear. However it just popped and blood and puss came out and a very strong odor that smelled like crap? Please help! I m embarrassed to tell anyone or even call my own doctor. I m not sexually active the last time I had sex was about 6 months ago. I do masturbate but I bathe everyday and always use clean underwear as well as cleaning myself after masturbation. I never had this before. Anything please?.

Hello ma'am and welcome.

Do not worry, this is most probably due to the friction caused either during masturbation, shaving the region, hair removal from the region, or simply from friction caused from inner wear.

Please do not worry about this, keep the area clean and dry and apply a warm compress to the region over your inner wear whenever possible. You could also take sitzs baths with epsom salt to help boost healing. If at all you are still worried, then write to me using our premium service wherein you have the option to attach images to our conversation, and I can review the affected region and provide me opinion and treatment options.

Best wishes.
