Hi,Dear.Welcome to healthCare Magic.
Yes probably it is a bartholin cyst.You shuld not worry about it.
The treatment for painless cyst is SITZ BATH.Special sitz bath basins are available, but the simplest method is to sit in the bathtub in a few inches of warm water. The water should not be so hot as to burn the skin but should be fairly warm. These soaks should be done for 10-15 minutes at a time, 3-4 times daily. This treatment is frequently all that is needed for Bartholin's cyst.
But if you notice that the cyst is getting bigger or painful then consult again.
Do use safe sexual practices to help it getting better soon.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.
