Boil? Cyst? STD? Please help.

Posted , 6 users are following.

Hi so this started off as a small bump under my skin then kept getting bigger over the course of a week. It just developed a head to it but just yesterday. Feels like there is liquid maybe pus underneath the skin. Please help im not sure if this is a STD and i am on out of town for the next three days so I cannot go to see a doctor. imageimage

    How big has it gotten? Any other bumps forming around it? Very hard to tell from these photos.

    this could quite possibly be a bartholin gland cyst. very common. do epson salt baths twice a day and warm compress. they can drain spontaneously on their own but sometimes need intervention with a word catheter placement.
