How do I treat a cyst on the upper portion of my labia majora?
Hello! I'm 17 years old, and I've had these pea-sized cysts several time during my teenage years. I usually leave it alone and it goes away with a couple of weeks, but this time it's different. The cyst started off normally as a small, painless bump that was located just below the skin, and I could roll it around easily with my fingers. Now, after a few days it has grown into a larger, pea-sized lump that can be easily see on my labia majora. This is usually normal, and it starts to get slightly painful at this time before it eventually shrinks in size. However, I work as a lifeguard this year and wer right bathing suits that have put a lot of pressure on the cyst. After getting home from work and changing clothes, I noticed the cyst had popped (first time I had seen it do this) and was bleeding from a small, pin prick of a hole. I have never done any type of sexual activity and consider myself fairly unstressed because of summer. Please help? I'm embarrassed to talk to my parents and scared because I don't know what's going on.
