    Zohra, I'm not sure what a blaster is--maybe you mean blister?  A small pimple and blister in that area could be a lot of things, especially since you're immunosuppresed with the chemo, but what immediately pops into mind is shingles.  That causes painful blisters and no antibiotic cream will fix it.

    Go see your GYN.  She/he can help.  Whatever it is, there's no need to suffer and self-treat without good results.

    I had the exact same thing happen during the latter parts of Taxol. I applied lots of hot compresses and a little pressure and it eventually popped and drained. (Sorry, TMI!) I agree with sbelizabeth, I  think it was because of the low white blood cell count--it happened on the one cycle I didn't have a Neulasta shot.  

    You might also want to check to see if it is a Bartholin's cyst that has become absessed--those require drainage, so it's worth a call to the doctor. Good luck!

    Shingles come to mind as well although Im not sure if they appear in that area. Immediately after my last Taxol...a set ofblisters appeared on my non cancer breast. They looked like they were full of water and they turned out to be shingles
