Bartholin's cyst: Because he drained the cyst, he didn't excise it. He removed much of the cyst's contents but the actual cyst is still there.

Had a painful Bartholin's cyst a few days back. Got it checked by the GP, he said it didn't look badly infected. So he put me on antibiotics. Pain is gone but the hard lump is still there. Why? What should I do to get rid of it?
