Vaginal cyst scar? not urgent?!


Question: Vaginal cyst scar? not urgent?
Hello,im 14 and I had a Vaginal cyst around christmas, and it was infected and i went to the doctors they said it was the size of a walnut and they would pop it. and i was in the hospital bathroom when all this smelly graive like substance came out, a nurse cleared the rest and i was sent home with some antibiotics. and as it healed it didnt hurt in the slightest it was a relife i could bearly walk! but im left with an indented around the size of this | | with in lines... i had the cyst around 1-2 month as i thought it was normal.. and it was serious around 4-5 days, and contacted my gp in the last 3 days before it burst.. will i be left with the scar for ever? or will it fade? as i said im not bothered its just not a nice thing to have!
If you had one please give me some info on how you coped or are coping and what caused it?

Answers:

It is not clear from your note but I suspect that you had a Bartholin's cyst. Fairly common, usually heals fine and gets less obvious and painful over time. Honestly, if you didn't tell anyone, they probably would never notice it. Sometimes we see other types of vaginal cysts and they can also leave scars. If it was on your perineum or vulva (around your vagina) it probably will be visible for a few months to years but they also tend to fade with time. If you gets these again, talk to the doc about antibiotics, etc. Hope that this helps, Daniel Laury MD

I don't know if it will fade but at 14 you're still growing and your body changes the older you get, so chances are it will.
