Warm soaks: If you have a vaginal cyst or boil then try warm soaks and see if it will go away. Do not squeeze it. If it does not resolve see your doctor for an exam.

Hot compresses: I hope you mean vagina! Try hot soaks for 30 minutes in a tub, four times a day or so, and put on some bacitracin ointment and a bandage, if small If it is big, you need to get seen for treatment. Avoid scented detergents, soaps, fabric softeners, shaving close.
