Yes, Vanessa, I know what you mean by something hanging sort of...kind of like a second, smaller labia...it is scar tissue...you can have it surgically removed in a while for esthetic reasons but that bit of tissue/skin can get easily irritated...you are in Fla aren't you? Heat and sweat can irritate it too...so keep yourself airy and cool down there by using only cotton unddies...Never heard of the peanut butter down there but I am openminded to anything that works.
I agree that it could be an abscess in there, they are common enough after having yourself sealed shut...but if there is just pressure, no PAIN and no fever I would try the other solutions first.
WHAT is wrong with your valve???? What are you hooking on????? It can be a staple or the edge of the valve so be very careful and turn the tube when inserting or removing it.
