Question: It is in my vulva, and has doubled its normal size. I have been given Antibiotics but its agony. Has anyone got any pain free or minor pain ways of bursting it? Have been sitting in a hot bath, but its too painfil to squeeze it.
Anyone got any ideas as to why I would keep suffeereing with them, I have been tested for diabetes which came back negative.
Sensible answers only please!

dont squeeze it while it so painful it wont help at all, keep taking your tablets and it should go down sometimes abcess' dont pop they just go down and flare up again if it keeps doing it the doctors can refer you to the hospital to get it lanced with isn't very nice but will get rid of it.

My husband suffers from abcess' he gets them on his bum he has had one come and go in the same place for months the other day it just popped by itself, he has also been tested for diabetes and that was negative we have asked and still cant find out why he gets them.

You may have to have it surgically removed.

It is more than likely a stopped up hair follicle. Several years ago, I had 13 of them at one time, which landed me in emergency surgery where they had to open and drain them. There is really not much you can do yourself and antibiotics never did any good for me. These things are very painful!! Hot soaks and warm compresses are about all you can do. With a little luck, it may go away on its own. If it doesn't pretty soon, I would push the Dr. to put you under and drain it. Good luck.... I can certainly sympathize. They are miserable!! You can e-mail me if you need more info.

One more thing. Some people are just prone to these. I know that I am.

Heya
It could be anything, the doctor will have to test for all possibilites sorry to say maybe including cancer, you would be able to burst it it sounds to me like you will have to get it surgically removed. Can you take any painkillers for the pain?
If so take them
Good luck Hope i helped

It sounds like an ingrown hair that has gotten infected. You may need to go to the doctor to have it lanced and treated. I know many women who have had this problem at one time or another. If you can't make it to the doctor, keep up the hot baths to bring it to a head. When it does rupture, make sure you use some hydrogen peroxide on the area!
