Ok so it's two days since I've been feeling a discomfort around the opening of my vagina. In the inner labia, I guess. It's right between the opening and my urethra. It looks like my urethra is swollen but it's not and it doesn't hurt to pee at all. I did some research and thought it might have been a Bartholin's cyst, but Now that I look again, it looks like its coming to a head! Like a pimple? But it's slightly soft or mushy to the touch the like the skin in there. And the pain is ALMOST UNBEARABLE! I don't know what to do, I've scheduled an appointment but is there anything I could learn about to help with this PAIN! :'(
I have no idea. But i have had this similar condition where i get this reddish bump on my labia minor and it hurts like heck!!! yellow or white puss/mucus is formed inside it and i went to the doctor to get it checked out. My doctor said that i might have scraped it or something. And i am sexually active that's why i got so worried. But she says that you need to keep the area clean all the time, its likely just a normal infection due to a blocked gland. I got that just bout some months ago and i am having it again. I looked online for details and stuff and hoped that its nothing more than a pimple. The pain is unbearable, doesn't hurt when pee, just hurts when walk cuz the major labia is there pushing on it. Could it really just be a pimple?? Im really hoping for some answers myself too. Crossing my fingers, and hope that its just a cyst, and one thing is i dont shave.

It could be just a sebaceous cyst that got inflamed. They can hurt really bad. Try applying some cabbage on it and see if it helps with the inflammation.
