Have you ever had a blocked sweat gland that was swollen in your vagina?

Question:

I have a swollen, sweat gland that has gotten infected. I have to put hot compresses on it 3 times a day and take an antibiotic.

Has anyone else ever had this? I keep saying that I have a blocked Who-Ha:) It is painful too.

Answers:
Yes, and I have always been prone to them since I was a teenager and I currently have one now also. A few years ago, and it was about this time of year... very hot. I had so many on my va-jay-jay (13 to be exact) that they had to put me in the hospital and do emergency surgery (incision and drainage). Yes, they are very painful. You have my deepest sympathy! By the way, it is called folliculitis (clogged hair follicles). You are doing the right thing with the hot compresses and antibiotics. Wear very loose clothing and you may also want to use some neosporin. It should be better in a couple of days. Get your Dr. to give you some pain medicine if you think you need it. My Dr. told me not to wear blue jeans for at least a year. Hope you feel better soon.

Here's a web site that can give you lots of info.
