Hello
Thanks for your query.
I think you are having Bartholins' cyst.
This is a condition where due to blockage of the Bartholins' glands, the secretions get pent up, resulting in cyst and abscess formation.
As it is recurrent, and painful, it might indicate superadded infection.
THe cyst might need marsupialization or removal to be cured completely.
Do not self medicate it, as it might worsen.
Please consult a gynecologist for confirmation of the diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Take care.
