I am really the only person in this community who's experienced a labial cyst?

I've gotten them several times... bumpy things filled with fluid that hurt when you squeeze 'em, you mean?

They are a pain.. mine usually either go away with heating pads applied for several days, or I get annoyed and lance them. Yes, I know, I'm not supposed to :)

No, mine had to be surgically removed.

I assume it is a different kind, then... I weren't saying yours were that kind, but that's the kind I get. Mine they said would be left alone unless they got infected, and then they'd have to do something like that...

oh i though ti was the only one who got those. ive only had that twice.. i got soo freaked out the first itme (over xmas break) but ya. im assuming it was a small zit? lol

Re:

No, not quite a zit... those have pus in them, etc. These were like small (less than 1/2 cm. in diameter) fluid-filled "bubbles" beneath several layers of skin.

sounds like what i had..
it's common?

Re:

I'm told it is, although the first time they pop up (sorry, possibly bad word choice! :) it might not be a bad idea to get them looked at. Also, keep an eye on them for infection, etc, and if they don't go away... yeah, get them looked at. Otherwise, they seem (unfortunately) common...

I just love performing my own minor surgery. Lancing things, cutting things open . . . .

Yeah, it's slightly undesireable, but alcohol and peroxide sterile nearly everything.

*Giggle* I'm sooo totally the same way...I'm always begging to lance/remove foreign objects from people... ;)

It's fun, and sooo much cheaper than a doctor.
