Labial cyst : A cyst in this area can initially be treated with warm sitz baths, where you sit in a warm tub bath water for approximately 10-15 minutes 2-3 times daily. Sometimes this will allow the cyst to drain on its own. If the symptoms worsen you should see your women's health provider. I would recommend not squeezing the cyst as it can spread deeper in to the area.

Concerns: I agree with Dr. Ellis regarding use of warm sitz bathes or compresses. Please avoid squeezing this cyst-like lesion.
