What Causes Painful Cysts Btween The Leg And The Vagina?

I have what I think to be two cysts between my leg and vagina. If I press on them the swelling tends to stay below the surface of my skin but it does feel painful and kind of hard at the same time. Any idea how I can treat them and prevent them from flaring up again? I have had them pop up in the same area on and off for months now.

Welcome to health care magic.

1.The possible cause could be infective aetiology - hair follicular infection with collection with in causing pain and tenderness.
2.Another cause could be lymph nodal enlargement which is seen after any infection or inflammation any where in the body but generally not painful.
3.The remedy and care you have to take - do not squeeze or scratch the lumps, that will irritate and complicated and recurrence chances are more.
4.Avoid clothing that cause the irritation to the area - try using soft clothing that all not effect on the area.
5.Maintain local hygiene, avoid shaving the hair until complete healing, use trimmer instead for hair removal as the creams causes irritation.
6.Clean when ever possible with antiseptic liquid. that will help to get rid of recurrent infection. If no use then get it examined and treated according to the findings. Good luck.

Hope i have answered your query.
