bartholin abscess - extreme pain

Hi!

I am a 24 year old Female and I am experiencing my first Bartholin abscess. I'm ruling it as an abscess because I am in such severe pain I cannot walk, sit, stand or even lay down without screaming in agony and I also have the chills. Now that I think about it, I have had cysts in this area that were completely painless, and always went away, it was slightly soar but I attributed it to nothing and disregarded it. Finally these past couple days Ive seen the cyst or abscess grow large in size, and grow in horrible pain. I took 5 x 200 mg Advil ibuprofen and it is the first time I am able to stop crying in the past 2 hours. It started out swollen, was the size of a large grape, and is now the size of a ping pong ball. I notice people say they see it "come to a head" "white head", and then it finally ruptures. It has been about five days and it is still under skin, and no "head". I refuse to get it lanced, operated on, or go to a hospital. I have tried Phoebe's method 1 oz calamine, 1 tsp tea tree, 1 tsp witch hazel. I slept with it but it did not work, I woke up more swollen and it more pain, it burned me horrifically and caused great stinging pain. I have taken sitz baths with table salt and tea tree 2 x a day for the past 3 days. It relieves LITTLE swelling and pain, but does nothing. I tried a hot compress with a black tea bag underneath and it gave me again very little relief. Only the ibuprofen has helped. I usually am able to use tea tree oil on my genitals but it burned horribly this time. I also tried the potato method (one slice of potato inch thing over cyst.) I have seen silicea as a remedy which is what brings me here. I have also seen on this forum that silicea is not correct for some and that a mercuria one is right. I have seen this figured out by doing the questionnaire. Here is mine below. PLEASE HELP I CAN NO LONGER TAKE THIS PAIN, I AM TRAVELLING IN AUSTRALIA AND CANNOT AFFORD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL.
