so this thing appeared on my lower outer labia like a week, more or less ago and it is super painful if i mess with it it just really hurts, i have a boyfriend and were both clean so i know thats not it. it kind of feels like a blister but im not sure how i would have gotten one there. im concerned bc its already "popped" a couple days ago and was bleeding so by now i thought it would have healed but it hasnt. ill post a pic you can kind of see the texture it looks like a blister or scar but i really dont know and im getting concerned image

    It was probably a boil. They are pretty common, especially in women who shave their lady bits. Shaving can produce an ingrown hair, which can get infected and turn into a painful, pus-filled boil. They are terribly painful, unfortunately there isn't much you can do for it other than using hot compresses to help draw the pus to a head sooner.
