erlgirl-9.livejournal.comOkay, my dears. I posted previously about a very painful boil/abscess on my clitoral hood/clit that appeared a two weeks ago. Many trips to the ER later, the abscess came to a head and ruptured, draining out. It's been...deflating, I guess, since then. It's been pretty itchy, and there was white stuff in between my outer lips and inner lips, which I figured was dead skin, causing the irritation. That cleared up about two days ago, and it stopped itching at around the same time. It was nearly back to normal size, too.
When my boyfriend and I engage in our extracurricular activities, the pleasurable feelings in my clit are no longer quite as strong as they used to be, as well as being mostly painful (so I tell him to back off, and we try again later). We decided last night to take a two day "break" from doing anything with it, since I am terrified that I'm irritating it and making it worse. What also irritates it is my underwear..even if I'm not wearing tight pants, the underwear still rubs/sticks against my clit hood, as it's still not normal-sized again.
Now, I'm afraid it's getting worse again, or that it's been damaged somehow (the gyno did, at first, stick a needle into it and drain it. Ow, yes). I walk more now since classes have started and it's a 15-minute walk to the university from my house. Maybe this is irritating it? Tonight, when I brush it wrong I get a sharp pain, as if it's still raw.
I'm taking homeopathic Silica (3 tiny pellets dissolved under my tongue once a day) as recommended by the naturopath, as well as diluted grapefruit seed extract to minimize possible infection. Anybody have experience with either of these remedies?
So...any advice? Am I just getting impatient? Or is this something I should be concerned about?
