A member asked:

I have a sebeceous cyst on labia that burst 3 days ago. not infected. still sore when rubbed. how long to heal and not be sore. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sebaceous cysts: If this was truly a sebaceous cyst it may have to be surgically removed. If only drained and the capsule remains it may reform and rupture once again and it will create a risk of becoming infected. See your gynecologist and have them advise you. Good luck and best wishes.
