I have an almond sized cyst or lump on the outside lip of my private near panty line. How do I treat it. Very painful to the touch. I have been putting hot compresses on it since I noticed it yesterday, but hasn t seemed to help yet. Any suggestions?
I suppose it may be a Bartholin's cyst. A photo of it can help me through the diagnosis. They are normally found in the vagina but when the opening suddenly closes they get large.
You can try hot, cold baths for drainage. Massage it to drain. Use Epson salts bath. Surgery may be needed if it doesn't drain by itself. Also, if it is infected oral antibiotics may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
