Cyst below vagina
I recently went to my gynecologist for the annual Pap test and to receive treatment for a yeast infection (I had been itching the area quite a bit so some soreness as a result). I didn't realize until today that about one inch below the opening of my vagina (one one side),directly left of the bottom part of the vaginal opening, there is a lump underneath the skin. It's pretty small, about the size of a pea, and feels sore when pressed. I have had a cyst directly on the vulva a few years back, which drained on it's own. This may be the same kind of thing, but is deeper underneath the skin and slightly harder to the touch. I have been vaccinated against HPV, so doubtful that it's a wart (which would likely only be on the skin surface, and this is not).
Any reason to be worried, or does this sound like a harmless cyst? Any advice on what to do to help get rid of it?

As the other advisor wrote we are not doctors. what I will say and advise is: That lumps suddenly appearing anywhere on your body, especially your Breast and Vaginal area, need to examined by a doctor ASAP.
Most of the time they will turn out to be just what they appear to be a cyst that can be drained, a fibroid cyst that needs to be monitored or removed if it causes pain or in areas of hair growth an ingrown hair that is about to turn in to a boil that is going to need to be drained. Only your doctor can tell you what this lump is after an examination.
So as the other advisor advised I too recommend you call your GYN and tell the appointment secretary as she advised. For now though I would not worry. Your doctor will tell you when and if you have something to worry about. The odds are almost 100% you have nothing to worry about.

We aren't doctors and cannot diagnose nor examine you. Only a doctor can tell you exactly what is going on here. What you have to do is call the same doctor and tell them you need to follow-up.
Tell the person who books the appointment that a weird cyst or lump has materialized immediately after the last examine and you are scared and want answers. They should take you right away. That's the only way to know medically what it is and what the cause and treatment is.
