Accepted Answer

You need to be seen.: This sounds like an infected cyst, which needs drainage to get relief of the infection and pain.  It has nothing to do with cleanliness or diseases---just bad luck!  Go to an ObGyn or FP or if you can't get in quickly you can go to an ED for some pain relief and a referral.  Meanwhile, sit in very warm water;  you can also use a hot water bottle, wear a warm washcloth or a hand warmer to the area.

Question 8

i have boil or pimple on outer vagina. it was big now small. it leaks yellow puss sometimes. i have a rash in that area too. will cortizone 10 help?

Accepted Answer

Vulvar Rash: Placing creams on a rash of unknown origin is never a good idea. Cortisone is a steroid and used for allergic inflammation. It’s not meant to treat infection. At best you need an anti-fungal but, if puss is involved, you most likely also need an antibiotic. See your GYN for the right diagnosis before you start self medicating. The wrong approach could actually make things worse.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Yes: Boils can occur in practically any region on the skin.  The vagina and surrounding region is generally rich with glands/bacteria/moisture and thus a common area for development of boils.
