kind of worried..... a female issue

[angela52884]

So the right side of my lip ****down there***** is really, really swollen and sore. It looks like I was bit by something. The area is really hard and very swollen and red and warm to the touch. I was thinking it may have been an infected hair or something but Im thinking its something worse.... I have had infected hairs before and nothing like this. Im worried.... I know it sounds stupid and I keep examining it to try and figure out the problem... But um...... could I really get bit on my crotch????? HELP!

Dont want to freak you out but icould be a boil< and 1 question have u had unprotected sex with any one other than your partner get a mirror and examine yourself genital herpes looks like a cluster of blisters u can catch it from oral sex if some one has had a fever blister but it could also be just an infected haworth getting it checked though

There is a gland down there, something like a "bartholeme gland" or something that can get swollen.  Mine used to react to contraceptive cream.  Hot baths helped me..if it seems to still be a problem in a few days see your gyn maybe?

I have had that too. It is painful! It has ALWAYS cleared up in a few days!

I'm sure it's what the previous posters have referred to. I would get it checked, but I am positive it is nothing serious. I actually had what looked like a beauty mark on the inside of my "lip" and it got bigger and bigger and then became raised. I was convinced that I had a cancerous growth. They removed it and it was nothing. BTW, stitches there.....not good. So if that was nothing, I'm sure yours is nothing either.
