Cysts On Labia Minora, Painful, Been Depressed. Done Biopsy. Ruled STD. What Is It?

Hi i am currently seeing a specialist from a gum clinic, due to having returning lumps (cysts) on my labia minora, i have had a biopsy proving it is a cyst, and tests have ruled out std's, the cysts are small but very painful and i could have between 1 and 7 at any one time, very hard for the specialist to see but she can just about feel them, but they feel very big to me, they last between 3 and 7 days at a time, sometimes they start to go once they have bled, i used to get them aprox once every 3 months around 10 years ago to now getting them every couple of days, the specialist is stumped and as i am in almost constant pain with them i am really fed up and starting to get a bit depressed, my husband is also getting a bit fed up as i have needed to keep him at arms length for a long time now.

Hello ma'am.

It would be best to keep your pubic region shaved to start off. After this, do try your best to take regular baths with lukewarm water and epsom salt.

Apply warm compresses to the region and do make sure you clean your genitals after sexual contact. These cysts could simply be irritated hair follicles and considering laser treatment to completely stop growth of hair around the pubic region could also be one treatment option.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
