Hot water usually works. I get them every once in a while. I find  when I'm in the shower and I let hot water run on it. It tends to go down quickly

Sorry the previous message should have read:

If it does NOT shrink in size and you say it "feels big again", make an appointment to see our doctor.

You don't need another course of antibiotics.  You need to wait until you have finished the whole course that you have.

If it flares up and feels painful, you will need to see the doctor again.  Sometimes a little bump is left.  As long as it doesn't hurt or gets worse, you will be fine.

Once the tablets kill off the bacteria, the cyst should disappear, but may leave a little node where it was.

Sometimes it can fester though just like an acne type boil and when this happens the doctor or nurse may need to help get the rubbish out.

See how things go.

That's great that you went to see your doctor and have the appropriate treatment.

Do bear in mind that these things can happen again, so you will know what to do,  

To help bring out the cyst to the surface, I have read to apply the back part of a heated spoon to the cyst, as hot as you can tolerate.  Personally, I have never done this, so do not know if this works or not.

Hope you start feeling better soon.

Best wishes.

   I just had Bartholin cyst removed it is not something to not go to the doctor. I have mine lanced 6 times before I finally have surgery. So no matter what might think it is see your doctor.

It is likely to be a Bartholin Cyst, or an infected hair follicle.

Make an appointment to see your doctor.
