Cyst? Or ingrown hair? Advice required please!
Hi,
Since Friday I have had a bump appear to the left of my vagina.
It is sore and lumpy and I believe it could be an ingrown hair from shaving.
But I would like your input?
What should I do about it? I've tried hot compresses but it's not solving the pain :(
I really want it to go down ASAP as it's hurting!
Thanks!

Definitely looks like a pimple or very unhappy ingrown hair to me. You can keep up with the warm compresses or try a salt-water soak. Good luck; that looks awfully painful!

Lancing it should only be a last resort and done by a professional, since the pus track isn't always the most obvious and you might not find it. Then you've created a new trail for bacteria to follow and settle in.
I gets cysts in the girly area as a side effect of one of my meds, and they're more of a slightly raised round squishy shape, mostly painless, and what feels like a crater or hole under the skin.
As far as preventing them, I use a gentle loofah on the shaved areas, which helps keep the hairs from becoming ingrown. I haven't had an issue in the 6+ years since I started doing that, versus 2-3 a year before.
Good luck, you have my sympathies!
