Hi. A few says ago I noticed a small lump that I believe was a Bartholin's cyst (I've had one before that just went away). It was painless and shrunk with some of the treatments you all discuss on this forum, and I thought it went away. However, I experienced some pain and bleeding after having sex and realized it must have still been there and may have ruptured. A few hours later, I'm still bleeding and getting kind of worried. I also am very scared of infection. I'm not currently able to see a doctor about it but am hoping to call soon. How do you care for a burst cyst? Please help, thank you!
