Oh my god it even hurts when I close my legs.

Help! I’ve tried really hot shower it isn’t moving.

Anything else??

You may still need antibiotics for any residual infection so talk to your GP. Bartholin cysts are buggers for recurring. Also, as pp said, they can be an early warning sign of the onset of diabetes so GP may advise a blood glucose test.

These run in my family. Yours sounds the same as a Bartholin cyst. If they get really really bad then pop themselves they don't usually come back. If they don't pop then they recur over and over. You have two glands so expect the other one to do the same in coming years.

Hopefully it's popped as the pressure has gone so quickly. I had raw skin flaps when the infection had drained so you might be able to see something with a small mirror.

Disappointing news.

It seems to have burst by itself in the night! I did not feel it as was zonked but this morning it appears to have gone down in size. I’m going to jump in shower again and see if I can redeem anything by giving it a squeeze and see what happens.

I feel slightly cheated when that happens. Although it's nice for the pain to go!
