First time and in a lot of pain

Hey, I don’t think I’ve ever had a BC before, at least not anything diagnosed. Yesterday I had some pain, felt like a pimple that needed to be popped.

During the night it hurt so bad that I would put pressure on it and squeeze it, thinking that like a pimple, it would help clear it. Now I’m looking online and it seems like that might have been a terrible thing to do and made it worse.

Over time today it hurt all day, especially when I wiped I could tell it seemed large. So this afternoon I used a mirror and looked. It does not look at all like a pimple and definitely is bigger. It’s like the size of a grape and it hurts so bad.

I used a hot washcloth on it for 15 minutes or so, and I’ll do that again before bed. I don’t have a bathtub so I can’t do that salt bath thing.

Due to the size and pain, I’m really scared this is something worse. I feel nauseous I’m so worried. It’s late so I can’t call a doctor. Has anyone experienced a large BC with pain?
