Infected Cysts "down there?"?

So i thought i had herpes or something. I was freaking out!!! I described the bumps to my mom and she said its not, and that it was a cyst.





My health insurance got dropped becuase I am taking 3 college classes not 4 and you need to be a full time student to be on the plan. My regular gynecologist told me that she didnt think that I had anything to worry about, and that if i had an STD she'd have probably noticed before (I go about 3 times a year for exams due to an abnormal pap test)





ANYWAYS...I went to planned parenthood (where my doctor reccomended) and they checked me out. The lady said it looked NOTHING like herpes and she had no reason to believe that the bumps i have are any form of std. She said it looked like a cyst to her..





She said that it looks a tiney bit infected and she said to soak in a warm/hot bath 3 times daily. She said that in about one week if the bumps do not begin going away - to contact my doctor again.





more details coming...

Infected Cysts "down there?"?
You should ask your doctor if there's any kind of ointment you could put on it, or any antibiotics. Usually if there's an infection you take meds for it.........
Reply:i'm not sure what exactly causes these "cysts" but both my sister and I have suffered from this problem periodically. when I went on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen, they went away. However, it was the opposite for my sister, when she went OFF the pill, she stopped getting them.
Reply:Try Epsom salts. They're available at most (if not all) drug stores, and are cheap. It is something that is advised when a person has chicken pox to help sooth and dry the sores. Also used by post-partum women who have had episiotomies or vaginal tearing. They're also used for sprains, scrapes, and all sorts of other things.
Reply:If they continue, and your practitioner can't pinpoint the cause, ask your practitioner to consider Hydradenitis Supurativa (aka Acne Inversa) I'm not saying that's what you have, but it's a non-infectious, inflammation of the apocrine glands. People are affected to varying degrees. Most of the time it shows up in the creases of the groin and armpits...where apocrine glands of the skin are most numerious. Unfortunately it's what's called an "orphan disease" because such a small percentage of the population is affected.
Reply:You need to find an OB/GYN. Your doctor isn't very helpful. If you have many "cysts" down there it could be a sexually transmitted disease like genital warts.





If it is just a cyst, it could be a plugged hair follicle. I have had this happen, and have needed to get it drained.
