Question:
Hi there,

I think that I ve been having an OB for the past couple of days ( this is my 3rd ever so I didn't recognize it at first) but I have some pretty strange swelling near my vagina. I can't afford to go and see a doctor and I have no idea which medication I should take.

Has this ever happened to anyone? It looks like skin growths. Can you PLEASE tell me if it will just dissapear on its own?! Last time I didn't take any medication and everything just went away naturally...Will this just go completely? I feel deformed and it is so scary! Please help. Thanks!!!

Answer:
There must be some kind of free STD clinic you could try to go to? I'd suggest that first since you don't know what you have exactly. I can't advise any medications since I'm not a doctor. If this went away before it may or may not again. Again, I strongly suggest finding a free clinic. Most major cities have them.

You don't tell what other symptoms of an outbreak you may also be having. IF you are having an HSV ob then you need to get to a doctor since there is no medications over the counter than will help this do more than heal somewhat faster but NOT suppress it at all.

My only practical suggestion would be to apply ice to the swollen area for 10 to 20 minutes several times a day... using a soft cloth or freezer bag to hold the ice in, as direct contact is too painful to tender skin. Take some ibuprofen or tylenol for pain and to reduce the inflammation until you can be seen be a doctor.

Do take good care and much luck to you, dear.

Answer:
Thanks! I will definetly try and find a free clinic.

Take care
