By Seema Agarwaal on December 14, 2020

Vaginal boiling is a swelling, pus-filled ridge that forms under the skin of the vagina. These lumps can occur outside of the vagina, in the pubic area, or on the labia.

Vaginal boiling occurs when the hair follicles are affected, and the hair follicles become infected. Boiling begins as a small red ridge and can occur in a swollen, painful area with a white or yellow tip filled with pus within a few days.

Some boilings can look like strings, and a correct diagnosis is key to treatment. If you have spots on your vagina and are not sure if it is boiling or other consequences, consult your doctor or gynecologist.

Boiling is rarely a concern. Most will heal spontaneously in a week or two. Treatment may be needed. Treatment helps relieve pain and reduce infection until the boiling subsides. In severe cases, the doctor may release or cut the boil to eliminate the infection.

How To Treat Vaginal Boiling At Home

Most boilings resolve themselves in a few days or weeks. These home remedies can help relieve symptoms and speed up the process.

Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching the boil or its surroundings. Use antibacterial soap and warm water. Without this step, there is a risk of more bacteria boiling. This can exacerbate the infection.

Similarly, wash your hands again after treatment. Do not risk the bacteria spreading to other parts of the body.

1. Do Not Explode or Puncture

Resist the urge to boil or puncture.

2. Apply A Warm Compress

Soak the washcloth in a little warmer water than you would use to wash your hands and face. Squeeze out excess water. Place the compress on a boil and let it sit for 7-10 minutes.

Repeat this process 3-4 times a day until the boil subsides. The compress’s heat helps promote increased blood circulation, and the white blood cells can fight the remaining infections.

3. Wear Baggy Pants While Healing

One of the most common causes of boiling is tight clothing that causes rubbing and rubbing on the pubis’ delicate skin. Wear loose underwear and clothing until the boil subsides. After training, wear clean, dry underwear.

4. Use The Ointment

Petroleum jelly ointment helps protect boiling from rubbing from clothing and underwear. Similarly, if the boil ruptures, use a combination of antibiotic ointments such as bacitracin, neomycin, polymyxin B (Neosporin) to protect the spot from another infection while it heals.

5. Take Over-The-Counter Painkillers

Over-the-counter painkillers may be needed to relieve the pain and inflammation caused by boiling. Take ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) according to the package instructions.

If these home remedies do not help, or if the boiling does not go away in 2 weeks, consult your gynecologist or doctor. You may need medical attention.

How Long Does It Take To Heal?

Boiling usually resolves spontaneously in a week or two. Some boiling will shrink and disappear. Others may pop out first and drain.

If it boils, clean the area well and apply sterile gauze or a sticky bandage. Keep the part clean and change the dressing daily. Also, wash your hands before and after changing the bandages.

Bringing to a boil does not increase the likelihood of another boiling. However, some of the risk factors that cause one boil can easily lead to another. These include:

Rubbing or rubbing against tight clothing
Hair grown by shaving
staph infection

Talk to your doctor if you see more boiling. The underlying factor can contribute to the boiling. Treating the root cause can prevent future conflicts.
