Question 1

is it normal to get a hard cyst on the labia that eventually bursts?

Accepted Answer

No: The answer to your question is "no". Cysts are not normal on the labia, but they are quite frequently seen there. The most common one is called bartholine cyst that does look like a nodule. It doesn't normally burst unless infected or very tense and has no way of growing than just to burst.

Question 2

i have a sebeceous cyst on labia that burst 3 days ago.  not infected.  still sore when rubbed.   how long to heal and not be sore.  ?

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous cysts: If this was truly a sebaceous cyst it may have to be surgically removed. If only drained and the capsule remains it may reform and rupture once again and it will create a risk of becoming infected. See your gynecologist and have them advise you.  Good luck and best wishes.

Question 3

do herpes blisters always burst or does being on the antiviral prevent that? ive had these bumps on inner labia for a few days and was told herpes but no pain or bursting yet. could they be cysts instead?

Accepted Answer

Herpes: This is the kind of complaint that requires in person evaluation, i.e., a gym exam.
    Having said that, if you have had herpes in that area then empiric treatment with an oral antiherpetic medication would be reasonable.
     Not all labial bumps are herpes!

Question 4

hundreds of small, firm sebaceous cysts inside labia minora, normal? read here from a doctor that labia minora is "supposed to have sebaceous cysts"

Accepted Answer

Yes that can be: A normal variant. Look up sebaceous hyperplasia. See if that doesn't describe your body's appearance. For some women that's normal. Sometimes biopsy is done if the diagnosis isn't certain.

Question 5

my gyno confirmed i have a sebaceous cyst on my outer labia. it's unsightly! can my dermatologist treat it? how quickly can she get me back to normal?

Accepted Answer

Treated: Either by gyn or derm, most gyns will treat a cyst on the labia surprised your did not offer, depends how big it is but whomever gets rid of it should be able to give u a time frame.

Question 6

is it possible 2 get a cyst in ur labias right b4 ur 'entrance' or is it something else? n i've only been intimate wit 1 person n im lesbian watcanitb?

Accepted Answer

Bartholin Cyst?: Possibly a Bartholin's cyst.  Caused by a backup of fluid from the glands.  May be painless, but can become infected.  If infected it will be painful.  Soaking in warm water may help clear the cyst.  Call your doctor if it becomes extremely painful or it does not improve within a few days.

Question 7

how  do  get  rid  of  a  cyst  on  my  labia  minor.

Accepted Answer

Let me explain: Labia cysts do not frequently prove to be harmful, other than a mild discomfort in some cases. However, in few cases they can grow into tumors, which must be checked regularly. In case a cyst becomes problematic, surgery is the only option.

Question 8

i think i have a sebaceous cyst on my labia. is that possible? how can i get it removed?

Accepted Answer

Bartholin's gland: Can clog, or a simple boil...To treat and tell the difference, you need a gynecologist.  Unless you have a fever, shaking chills, or bumps in your groin, make an appointment, soak in a tub or warm compresses until then, or go to urgent care...Not an emergency.

Question 9

believed to be a cyst on left side of vagina labia, hurt during sex a couple times, no problems since. should i get it drained still?

Accepted Answer

Infected Cyst: What you are describing may be a sebaceous cyst (clogged hair follicle) or an infected bartholin's gland.  Either can get blocked and filled with fluid or by the normal bacteria in the area.  It can cause pain with sex. It can be drained or removed. You should see your provider to have this evaluated.

Question 10

i have 2 bumps on labia minora. not white/red, not pusy, somewhat painful, comes normally before period. are they cysts? how can i stop them?

Accepted Answer

Unsure without exam: Those growths have to be seen to be categorized by the MD preferably a GYN MD. Otherwise, it would be speculation to diagnosis the problem from this vantage point.
