Re: really disgusting--sorry

[Guest guest]

Becky,

I've not had it happen yet but a pimple can grow in the

Bartholin's gland.

Try sitz baths to see if that helps some of the swelling you

noticed.

Hi Becky - sounds like a cyst. I had cysts once on my pubic area when I had

a bacterial infection. Usually they take a few days to a few weeks to

'pop', and then they go away. See how you feel in a few days, it should

start to go away.

Yep and mine was a boil - simultaneously also had one on knee, behind my ear and right along my butt where the elastic panty leg caught it. I was miserable for about 2 weeks or so.

Hi Becky,

I get those about once a year. I think they are an

infected sebaceous cysts. I may get them more often

and only happen to notice them sometimes. I seem to

remember getting them more often when I was a

teenager, most likely playing sports and horseback

riding contributed to more friction and more skin

irritations. They hurt like hell to pop, but, like a

bad zit on the face, stop hurting soon after getting

the ooze out.

Becky, I have had 3 of these in the last 5 years and I believe

mine were boils as my derm Doc told me so when I described it

to her. I also squeezed mine till it popped and then held

warm compresses on it for @ 10 minutes every time I had a

chance. Just be careful it doesn't get infected as that can

mean antibiotics and then you know--yeast infection. But I

think if you use the warm compresses it should be fine.

Also, I put cortisone cream on it that you can get OTC.

I don't think cysts have fluid. To my knowledge they are a

solid mass that need to be removed surgically.

Google each to make sure.

Becky, it's me AGAIN. I was wrong, cysts do have fluid in them,

however, they cannot be popped by oneself. A GYN or Surgeon

might need to drain it for 2-4 weeks. And they are very painful,

but then so are boils. And stress can produce one as well as

continuous rubbing, such as bike riding.

Wow, thanks for all the camaraderie! Glad to know I'm not alone. So...boil, cyst, pimple...what would cause this? Becky
