You may leave it alone. It is possible that the cyst may resolve on its own. Manipulating the cyst is likely to make matters worse. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines

By UPTODATE: small Bartholin cysts (less than 3 cm) may be managed expectantly. Other options, particularly for symptomatic cysts, are sitz baths or warm compresses with the goal of eliciting drainage of the cyst contents and resolution of the mass.
