Is It Safe To Drain A 4-day Bartholin Cyst Myself Which Is Worsening Despite Sitz Baths, Hot Compresses, And Constant Severe Pain?

I have what I believe is a Bartholin cyst, for 4 days. I have been doing sitz bath and hot compresses but it is getting more painful- throbbing and burning. I can t sit, stand, lay down or anything without pain. Paracetamol helps a little but it never goes away. What else can I do? Can I try bursting it myself with a needle or something? It s very painful to touch. Thanks for any help
