Don't wait a week. Get evaluated. Also try warm compresses.

A 22-year-old female asked:

I found a small cyst in my inner labia. It is hard, and there is no drainage. It's right where my hair line is down there. Could it be an infected hair follicle or should I be more worried about std's (I already am) ?

An exam: will help sort this out. But, it sounds more like a skin cyst, or hair follicle. Let your FP or Gyn exam it and they can help you out.
