swollen outer labia

Hey. i need help. My left labia majora is swollen. I really do not know why it is like that. I looked at it and its not really the labia itself more like that section (inside the skin). I see a vein like thing right next to the labia that is swollen and hurts to the touch. I have no idea what it is but i cant stand the pain...even when i stand it hurts. I have no discharge or anything, just a whole lot of pain and swelling. what can it be? =(

Hi. That happened to me and I tell you, I cried a lot because it hurt really really bad. I  kept on leaving it behind even though it hurt like you have no idea. Well... now you do. The thing is that if I would have gone to the doctor whe it started it would have never become a really bad situation. It started like that and then the next day it was gone. But it developed vaginal discharge and fungus.
I recommend seeing your doctor right away. Mine recommended a pill and 2 creams. It disappeard in no time. Good luck!

This happened to me before.... Mine turned out to be an in-grown hair.  Try to see if that's what it is...if not go see the doctor.
Hope this helped
