cyst vs abscess: This does not show if you are male or female. If you are a female- cysts can show up from time to time - such as a Bartholin's Cyst. However, if there is an abscess or an infected cyst- then treatment may well be indicated. Is the area red, hot, swollen, tender?

Yes: Abscess of infected cyst warrants attention to prevent spread to infection. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
