Discoloration on labia


Question Posted Friday June 19 2009, 5:58 pm

I recently went to the gyno to diagnose a painful abscess I had on my inner labia- she said it is a blocked gland, so I had to put hot compress (with hot epsom salt water) and was prescribed an antibiotic. After a day, the abscess drained on its own- (mix of blood and pus came out), and I was told it was a good thing, and to continue with the treatment. I also have a pill (difflucan) in case of a yeast infection caused by antibiotics.

I noticed that the area is now purplish (looks like a bruise) and is slightly white-ish/grey. Any thoughts?

The discoloration is normal. It will probably not go away. It is not a sign of anything bad. Unfortunately its just a result of the abscess.

These have happened to me quite a few times. Abscesses are so difficult to treat sometimes.

The purplish area of where the abscess is, could actually be a bruise, because it could have broken a blood vessel when you bled.

Does the area hurt? If it does, then it's likely a bruise.
