Have A Small Raised Bartholin Cyst Which Is Hanging Like A Pimple Is Painful While Squeezing

I think I may have a Bartholin Cyst, the only thing is it is the size of a very small pea, it is very small but very much raised,almost hangs like a huge pimple/bump. Does Bartholin Cyst comes in that tiny size and hangs like a pimple? It is only painful when squeezed, but it only feels sore otherwise, that's how I end up finding it.

Hi,

I can understand your concern for the pimple like swelling on the vaginal area.

There can be multiple possibilities including :

1. Skin tag

2. Bartholin Cyst

3. Ingrown hair


A close physical examination is must to diagnose the exact cause of the problem. For the same you must visit either a dermatologist or gynecologist to get correct diagnosis and accordingly the best treatment.

Do not try to even touch or pinch the area as can cause more aggravation of the problem and spread of the infection. This area is quite common to get infected very easily because of sweating and high bacterial proliferation.

I suggest you to take oral antibiotic such as ciprofloxacin or cefadroxyl 500 mg two times a day for 5 days to prevent secondary infection. For time being period you can apply antibiotic cream such as fucidin or mupirocin and take pain killer tablets such diclofenac or paracetamol.

Take care.
