A member asked:

I had a huge boil on my labia majora, it burst some days ago, but it has left a huge hard lump, which isnt painful. i have been using a warm compress twice a day for four days and still no improvement...... do i need to be worried about the lump?

Dr. Wayne Ingram answered

In 2 weeks, yes: If the "hard lump" does not resolve in 2 weeks with the warm compresses, see a GYN MD to have the area checked for an abscess which will be a pocket of infection that does not resolve and will expand. That situation could be very serious.
