Hi,I have a small bartholin cyst that appears to be inflamed and a little swollen. It doesnt hurt and I have no fever and no other symptoms. I have been treating it with warm compresses and Polysporin twice a day, but it still looks the same. My Drs appt is only 10 days from now and I am a little concerned about waiting so long. Is there anything else over the counter that I can use to treat it while I wait for my appt.?Thanks in advance for your help.Dina

Hello Dina, Thank you for posting your query through Chat Doctor. I am a Homeopath and my answer may appear strange for you. Is it the first instance you are getting it, or you had several episodes of Bartholdi cysts in the past ? If you had them earlier, I hope they got resolved by themselves. In that case why don't you wait for the cyst to get resolved by itself? If they got resolved by themselves, it means, your body is healthy enough and knows how to resolve it even at this instance. If this is the first instance you got one and no past history, then also it is now in a compromised state. Because there is no much hurting and no fever at all.  But if it is because of the Polypoid, then it is a suppression of the natural inflammatory process and that may be why it does not hurt. In that case, there is more chance of recurrences in the future.  Body needs a constitutional support to improve the immunity and control the inflammation. This constitutional support is best done by Homeopathic treatment. But if you are taking HomoeopatChatDoctorethod, you should stop applying Polypoid externally. Then by the right constitutional method of Homeopathic treatment, not only the present cyst will be cured with disappearance of the swelling, but also you will develop immunity so that no occurrences of Bartholdi cysts will take place in the future. Therefore, you are advised to approach an expert Homeopath or to get back to me with your details through the premium follow-up question facility of Chat Doctor. With Best Wishes, Chat Doctor.  J.
