Hi, Doctor. I am a virgin. Yesterday when I woke up there is a sore on the left Labia. I thought I was bitten by an ant or something so I apply nappy rash cream on it. However, it got even bigger today that I can't really sit or walk because it's really painful when I move. May I know is there any self-treatment for it? Going to hospital will be the last option for me. Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to ehealthforum and thanks for writing

Sore on the labia can be due to:
1)Infected hair follicles - can form small abscesses, which can cause a small swelling, and they are associated with redness and throbbing pain.

2) Bartholin's Cyst - Is located midway of the labia, and protrudes into the vagina and causes discomfort.If there is any infection then abscess is formed.
It requires a direct physical examination to rule out the exact cause.You can consider applying Neosporin ointment twice a day for.If it does not subside then consider visiting a Gynaecologist for evaluation.

Take care!
