red bump in my vagina

Hi Rosa! It is called a Bartholin Cyst! Basically what it is, is an internal ZIT! It is caused by a blockage inside the Bartholin Gland - the biggest pore in our vaginas! It usually comes after sex, or excessive lubrication.

So you need Epsom Salts, Hydrogen Peroxide, a Squirt bottle! The 1st thing to do is pour a bath with the hottest water you can stand - without burning of course - pour about 4 cups of Epsom Salts into the water. Sit and soak - and just have enough water to go over your thighs, let the water soak into your vagina! Then after your bath sit on the toilet and GENTLY press on both sides of the lump! hopefully it will either POP or ooze, if it does put about 2 tbsp's of hydrogen peroxide in the squirt bottle, fill the rest with HOT but tolerable water! And then squirt the area clean! Do the squirt EVERYTIME you go to the washroom and try to push more of the pus out! NOW if you can't get anything out, you will probably need to go to a doctors for them to lance it! The biggest thing is to keep the area clean, as it is already infected, and it can get REALLY gross! You will be fine I promise! Please let me know how you make Out OK? Good luck honey1
