I have a pimple in my vulva that is painful, what can I put on it to make it go away?

Question

Hello Since last week I have a pimple on the inside of my vulva that has grown (it looks like an ingrown hair) and it causes me pain. Last Saturday a liquid came out of it and I thought it was over but since yesterday it's back My doctor can only see me on February 14th and I wanted to know if there was a cream that I could put on it to help

Hello Mrs., It is impossible to determine if it is an ingrown hair, you can usually see it but not always. We can suggest applying a warm compress often during the day, this tends to help and if it is an ingrown hair, the situation usually resolves itself. You should avoid applying anything to it or trying to dig or scratch it. Otherwise, if it persists for more than 10 days without improvement, you should see a doctor as a precaution.
