A member asked:
Abscess on right lower labia majora/perineum for second time in little over year. had it lanced last time, will have to again. what causing it recur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bartholin gland: This appears to be a recurrent Batholin gland abscess which means that the infection is still present in the gland after lancing which smolders and later flares up. Antibiotics are typically given post lancing and a recommendation to have a minor surgical procedure to open the gland permanently (Marsupialization) would be in order to prevent recurrences.
