Lump
I find that the homeopathic remedy STAPHASAGRIA can be helpful for this type of cyst, especially if there was any issue with a fight with boyfriend or spouse. Take 3 pellets daily. You can also do a sitz bath, where you sit just your pelvis in warm water, with epsom salts from the drug store. You can sit in a bath but it's better to just submerge the pelvis in a big rubbermaid tote box.
It's a Bartholin's cyst. You need to use sitz-baths, to promote drainage. The water should not be hot, but fairly warm. These soaks should be done for 10-12 minutes, 3 times daily. For the current state of the cyst you have displayed, this treatment is all that is needed.. You do not have an abscess. If you will experience cyst enlargement, sharp and pulsating pain, temperature, and other apparent signs of abscess, you must see a doctor for a full surgical drainage with further incisions of antibiotics to prevent recurrent cysts.
