Hard lump near clit? Under skin?

Question

Right shorten the story here. Me and my boyfriend had sex nothing was there. Around 2 hours later we had round two of sex and there is a hard lump to the above my clit to the right. Under the skin and my boyfriend said it feels like bone? It hurt when he flicked it and I don’t know what to do :(

Answer

Why did he flick it 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

Answer

I did NOT pop mine. I went and bought small gauze pads ($2) and Witch Hazel ($3-ish). I’d soak the pad and leave it covering the cyst for about an hour. Multiple times a day. I slept with one for a night. The next morning it felt thin, like it wanted to pop. About 5 hours later and about 4 pads more it started oozing. I would slow massage and push some out until it was flat. I also soaked in 3 hot sitz baths. 🙂

Answer

Bartholin cyst. It’ll hurt to pop it. But pop it. Maybe with a sterile needle and make sure to get everything out of it.

Answer

I had one, and I soaked in a hot bath a couple days in a row and it went away

Answer

I would suggest not popping it yourself. If keeping it clean and time to heal doesn't take the swelling down, you should definitely go to the doctor. Even if it's not infected now, cutting open something like that without the proper sterile instruments or after care instructions, could result in infection later on. And you don't want that.
