Answers:
The treatment can depend on one or more of these factors: the size of the cyst, how painful it is, if it is infected, whether it has recurred, and your age!. In some cases, a small cyst can just be watched over time to see if it grows!. Sometimes the cyst will go away if you put warm, moist compresses on it or sit in warm baths!. The moist heat can help unblock the opening so that the fluid can drain out!. Your health care provider may want to culture the fluid in the cyst to see if an antibiotic is required!.
A cyst may become infected and form an abscess, which can be very painful!.
Nonprescription medicine such as aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen may help relieve the pain!. For a large cyst or an abscess, your health care provider may make a small cut over the gland and either insert a tiny tube or sew it open so that fluid can drain out!. This is usually done with a local anesthetic so that you don't feel pain during the procedure!. If a cyst is infected, your health care provider may prescribe an antibiotic!. You may have light discharge for a few days!. The tube is usually removed after about 10 to 14 days!.
