TMI warning

I had something similar once. Honestly it looked kinda like a big whitehead/pimple. OMG was it sore! I was out of town at a conference and NO way going to that kind of Dr in a strange place knowing that all I could do was call T but not see her. I kept the area very clean and well to be honest I think it poped (NOT intentional!)... I was walking, all of a suddon it hurt even more than usual and then just a little sore. By the time I got to the ladies room it just looked red and irritated. Went to the Dr when I got home... She checked me out for anything harmful and found nothing. Seeing as it was gone she could not tell for sure what it might have been. but she did ramble off some "normal" rasons why that could happen... Now that I knew I wasn't dying however the adrenalin was gone and well I was a mess... But a physically healthy mess.
I know it doesn't ease the pain but I hope it eases the fears.
Just FYI, a lot of baby wipes have alcohol in them and sting so I went back and bought the (much more expensive) ones made for women and they were more comfortable. When I could I took shallow, hot baths with epsoms salts to keep it clean without having to touch it and it did help a lot.
