Blood blister / pimple on vulva during pregnancy?

I am very close to having my little one (EDD 11/5/09). Several weeks ago I discovered a painless, flat blood blister on my outer labia. MW said not to worry about it. A few days ago it suddenly got much larger, swollen, and a little painful. I did squeeze it (sorry for TMI) and blood came out. It continued to bleed a little for the next couple days. Now it is still painful, looks more like a "pustule" (red with a white head on it), but fortunately it doesn't seem any larger. I think the conditions in that area just aren't good for healing. I do not have any STDs, so this must just be a random thing.

MW will visit in a day or so (we're having a home birth) and I'll have her look at it ... but in the meantime, does anyone know of a natural remedy for this type of thing? I'd really like to avoid going to my primary care doctor because I don't want to have another negative home birth discussion (already had one with her), especially this close to the big event.

Pretty icky ... thanks for any suggestions.
