What Do Cysts In The Vaginal Area Indicate?

Posted on Wed, 15 Feb 2017

Question: I have cysts in the vaginal area. They get big and my clothes rub against them If I put ointment on them they go down for a few days but reappear.

These cysts are not near the vagina but up further neared the clitoris

Brief Answer:
They may be ingrown hair

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query to HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concern.

Small cysts that appear and disappear only by applying ointment , can be ingrown hairs.
These are little painful and are caused more common when you shave your genitals with razor.

Try to squeeze them(only after washing your hands thoroughly by anti-bacterial solution) and have Sitz baths adding iodine solution .
Use loose fit cotton underpants .

Please feel free for further discussion.

Best regards
