pseudo cystic smegma abscess is back -- this stinks
Posted , 7 users are following.
I am in intense pain with this pseudo cystic smegma abscess! I really hope none of you ever have this happen. I gave birth to 3 of my 5 children unmedicated, and this pain is 10 times worse than child birth!
I had a feeling this thing was coming back on Wednesday; I tried to prevent it, but was unsuccessful. I am very thankful I went to the doctor yesterday. He said all the circumstances (pregnancy, then miscarriage, surgery, hormones, etc.) were the perfect storm for this to happen. I am on antibiotics right now, but I don't think they are working.The doctor didn't want to drain it yesterday, but I am regretting that decision now. I have been on antibiotics for 18 hours and really hoping they start to work soon. I may need to go to hospital to get this thing drained if it gets any bigger or if the pain gets any worse.
I know things could be worse, so much worse, but I tell you this disease is really stinks.

It will heal. For me it was the final stage of my labia fusing over my clitoris, to which I have said 'adios'.

I am in the US, so it is early afternoon here. The doctor's office opens at 8:00am tomorrow. I plan to be there first thing to greet him. I don't have an appointment, I am hoping he will have pity on me.
Tomorrow morning can't come soon enough. I really hope none of you suffer from this. I don't know what I could have done to keep this from happening.

For anyone else who's wondering how this happens, in my case I was having fairly frequent sex even though I was flared up and it was painful. I noticed that my labia had stuck together over my already heavily hooded clitoris. There was a visible seam with a tiny gap in it. I figure air and germs were able to get in there and grow in the fertile smegma that's cast off by the clitoris. I took matters into my own hands whenever it looked like it would swell and/or seal shut, squeezing goo out daily. Then one day it sealed over and very quickly became infected and inflamed. After a day or two of abject misery I went at it again and splooge! it was drained. Then I went to emerg. Kind of an idiot, I know. That's how I went 40 years without diagnosis – I never complained.

how old are your children. Perhaps they need to help a bit more. By being too kind to them you will overdo it get over tired and make healing more difficult!
increase the vitamin c as this will promote healing. It may be a good idea to take a sample of urine for testing for sugar to your GP. Often boils and the like appear when sugar is present in the urine.
do sit and rest as much as you can. Make the little one play doctors and nurses looking after Mummy!
good luck
hope all goes well for you....have an overnight bag packed...just in case...pop it in the car to take to the GP

I am glad that is over. I really hope this never happens again and none of you have to go through this. Thanks for the support!

The doctor told me to keep using the clobetasol 2-3 times a week, but to be honest, as much as I really like my doctor, I don't think he knows much about LS. I think I need to find a new doctor to help me with this problem. I can't let this happen again, and I don't want my condition to get much worse. I really like the doctor but he really seems uninterested in treating LS or speaking with me about it. I get the feeling he doesn't take it very seriously. If he went through what I just went through and what all of us go through on a daily basis, he would know this is no joke!

I wonder if it might not be better to let things "settle" for a short while before applying Clob to that raw sensitive area?
I'm not really too sure to be honest, as I have never experienced an abscess in that area, perhaps someone with experience of this might know and chime in.
