Tea Tree Oil for Bartholin Cyst

I apply tea tree oil with a cotton wool bud to the affected and surrounding area several times a day. I do this until it drains. This remedy has worked over 5-6 times for me! I plan to avoid tight clothing and have a hot bath at least once a week to avoid infection again. It’s awfully painful and can be scary I’m thankful to have this site for guidance!.

I had this terrible cyst about a year ago and I noticed it started to swell again several days ago and I immediately started to panic because my first experience was extremely painful and scary. I got it lanced the first time because that was all I knew but I’m a strong believer in natural remedies so I stumbled upon this site and saw quite a few but I wanted to to witch hazel, tea tree oil diluted with coconut oil but eventually excluded the coconut and just used tea tree and the witch hazel. I also did hot baths with epsom salt and when I ran out of epsom salt I used sea salt and soaked for about 20 min each time. I would do hot compress and immediately after I’d apply the tea tree oil and then the witch hazel and by the 3rd or fourth day it had burst in the wee hours of the morning (which was today) I felt so much relief as the pain was excruciating! Thanks so much for your stories they have really helped. I no longer have to go under the knife, thank God! Well wishes to all. 🙂

Tea Tree Oil for Bartholin Cyst is the best treatment.

I get them periodically, 1 every 2-3 years and only Tea Tree Oil helps burst the cyst.

I use use a Tea Tree body wash but I have used the oil diluted with some coconut water. I soak some tissue and wear it in my underwear and within hours it starts to work.

Tea tree oil saved the day!!!

The first and last time I had a bartholin abscess was 7yrs ago. I didn’t know what to do, so by the time I had gotten to the doctor it almost the size of a golf ball and I had to have it surgically drained.

This time I started feeling off over the weekend and woke up Monday in pain. In the shower I noticed a small marble shaped ball that was hard. It was already midday and I couldn’t get to my OB until the next morning. I knew a sitz bath would help but as I researched the internet, I found many websites (including this one! ) that talked about tea tree oil. The cyst was rapidly growing so I was willing to try anything!

I took two sitz baths in a bucket in my shower. I had added about a tsp of the oil (4-5ml). I sat for about 10min once in the afternoon and once at night. I also did try a soaked cotton ball in the oil directly on the bump for about 20min. It does have a slight hot sensation but nothing compared to the pain of the cyst. Rinsing off and swabbing with some witch hazel on the area helped to soothe it. I wore a heating pad overnight to help with comfort and also took ibprophen thoughout the day.

The next day my cyst was about half the size! I saw my doctor who confirmed that tea tree oil has been known to have positive effects. He put me on 3 days of antibiotics to kill any infection and told me to keep doing the sitz Baths. I had to run errands in the afternoon so I put a soaked cotton ball down there with a pad. At 4p I checked it and it had shrunk even more and there was a discharge that had been released. So in just over 24hrs tea tree oil helped to break down my cyst. Amazing!

Tea Tree Oil for Bartholin Cysts

Wow! Tea tree oil really works! I did heat compresses for the first 2 days, using cloth dipped in warm water and a homemade heat pack. I made the heat pack by putting uncooked rice in a clean sock and heating it in the microwave for 1min. I usually massaged the wet cloth with the heat pack. I also washed and cleaned the area with warm water and soap after every compress. Then I put rubbing alcohol and neosporin on the abcess. I took a long hot shower the second night, did another compress, and went to sleep. By morning it was just ready to burst and hurt like hell

I used a cotton swab to dab tea tree oil onto the big bump. I waited about 2min, then applied a maxi pad soaked in very warm water to the area. I felt it burst! Then I massaged it with my heat pack, and swapped pads and did this until the blood flowed slower. Then I took another hot shower and put a dry maxi pad on the wound to pick up any discharge. I will continue heat compresses and tea tree oil😊

This is for anyone suffering from bartholin cysts. I have had them on and off since I was 23 i am now 27. I have tried everything serrapeptase worked great the first few tries along with 800mg ibuprofen which helps with fluid retention. Then I tried epsom salt soaks only to find that it did nothing for me. I bought some tea tree oil and which hazel but that did nothing for me. So I was reading about essential oils I found 100% tea tree oil and I put it on a cotton ball and less than 30 minutes it burst and i felt istant relief. I caution you to buy real essential oil they are more potent and they really do work. But when you use it be sure to dilute it with another oil like coconut oil because it is will burn the skin a little bit.

Ladies I can’t thank you enough for sharing your stories. My cyst popped up from no where I went doc’s got put on antibiotics and then 48 hrs later developed a really bad fever and ended up in the A&E. so went there and they thought it had burst but a week later it came back full force painful to sit, stand and sleep and worse I was on holiday and had to endure a long flight unable to sit, stand etc it was so bad.

So 3 days after finishing my antibiotics I started getting mini fevers with shivering for 3 days and basically had to take paranormal and ibuprofen to keep the fever down which worked and it went.

With no option of seeing a gynea I took all your advice as I was on holiday. I sat in warm/hot baths which soothed the pain so much and helped me sleep but the cyst was growing more painful daily. So I decided to us apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball. I was only able to do this for 2 days (3 application over the days) cause it hurt so bad and to be honest I thought it made it worse but that is part of the healing. The pain got so bad at the airport on my way back home I put Vaseline down there to help soothe but that didn’t help. Ounce I got home 12 hours late in so much pain (pain killers were not working I took. Othc patacetamol and ibuprofen) I sat in a bath with table salt cause I couldn’t get anything else cause it was 12pm for 30mins then I applied tee tree oil and within 1 hour the cyst popped and started to drain. I did help it along cause I didn’t want anything left inside it. I then sat in a warm bath again and applied more pressure to make sure it all came out. Then rises with saltly water then water mixed with tee tree oil and got a hot compress and now I’m in bed and all the pain is gone. Thank you so much ladies natural remedies really do work well, takes a few days but they work and once the cyst pops pain relief is instant.

For the past 2 years, I had 4 Bartholin Cysts/ Abscess. The first time I had it I was so scared and went to the doctor with excruciating pain that I never felt before. Walking, sitting down is a torture. The doctor subscribe me with antibiotics and on the 4th day, it rupture own its own. The first time I had it I never did much research on how to do home treatment because at that time I am too focused with the pain I totally relied on the antibiotics.

The second time I had it, I couldn’t think much because I know how painful it’s gonna be so I went straight to the hospital. I was admitted for 3 days and was about to do marsupiliazation when it ruptured in the operation room right before the operation so the doc decided only to lance it. Even that is so painful.

The third time I had it I was like I am just gonna wait till it burst own its own. Without antibiotics it took longer time to burst, but the amount of pain is still, indescribable. At this stage, epsom salt/sitz bath helped me alot to relieved the pain. You could get the epsom salt at the pharmacy.

The fourth (hopefully last) was recently about 2 weeks ago. This time I decided to do home treatment and combined it with the doctor’s antibiotics. I used tea tree oil at least three times a day. Just wipe it on the cyst, you will feel a tingling sensation but only for a little while. It will make you feel relieved as well for awhile. And guess what? It ruptured 2 days after I started using the tea tree oil. I recommend the australian tea tree oil as the smell is quite relaxing as well. At the same time, I took sitz bath with Epsom Salt three times a day.

Good luck! Hope this post could help you.

Tea Tree Oil for Bartholin Cyst

I don’t know where I read it but tea tree oil is the best! I hadn’t had a cyst in 2 years! The last 2 I had (out of 5) at the time opened on their own after a painful week. The first 3 were helped with a catheter. The most recent 2 (total 7) opened on their own with tea tree oil along with hot compresses! It opens up my scar from the catheter and drains with no pain. Just gotta follow up with hot compresses and make sure you drain it well!

Bartholin cyst: I had a marsupilzation done in November. After this terribly painful procedure I believed the cyst would not come back, it came back ten folds about four days ago. I did not want to go back to have this done again, so I googled natural cures and found Earth Clinic. This was the best thing I could have done!

I started with the tea tree oil rubbing it on the cyst with a cotton ball, then taking baths with Epsom salts. I stayed in the bath for about an hour due to the severe pain I was in. I put castor oil on a wash cloth, plastic over that( it did does stain) and boiling water in a water bottle, and propped my butt up on a pillow, applied the washcloth, then the plastic and then the water bottle to the cyst and went to sleep. When I woke up the next morning, I was in severe pain. I took another Epsom salt bath, and then rubbed the castor oil right on the cyst, and covered it with medicated white tape. I suggest letting this come off in the shower or bath. It’s quite painful to just rip it off.

That afternoon I was in so much pain I decided I had to go to the Dr, just as I was on my way out the door, the cyst started draining.I took a cotton ball and started pushing lightly all over my golf ball sized cyst, and it was instantly so much relief! I used the castor oil pack that night, and then again in the morning took another Epsom salt bath, only 20 minutes this time, and rubbed the castor oil right on it again. The cyst drained again. This was a miracle for me, way better then an awful procedure, at least 3 days of recovery, and in my case no sex for 5 weeks.

The natural cures took 3 days with none of the terrible after math. I do have a dr appointment in a few days just to make sure, but that’s just a safety precaution. If I had done this the first day I had noticed the cyst instead of when it was awful, I could have avoided all the pain. I am so happy this information is available, and I do not have to go through torture every time I get one.

I had a bartholin cyst that started about 6 days ago. I read about the tea tree oil remedies. I’m happy to say it works and saved me from the knife!

I applied tea tree oil 2x daily and took 2 sitz baths. After the 2nd bath (didn’t have time to do more) on the 6th day it burst. The doctor wanted to cut it open and put a catheter in it on the 6th day. I had that procedure before and it’s extremely painful so I decided to give the tea tree oil a few more days. I came home and did the 2nd bath and then applied tea tree oil and in less than a hour it started draining. Oh what a relief. I wish I knew this the 1st time.

Thanks for the great remedy it really worked. Mine grew to the size of a golf ball hanging and as it gets close to bursting it becomes VERY painful but when I applied the tea tree oil it seemed to numb the pain. It definitely did the job and the pressure is relieved. The doctor gave me antibiotics and I only took one today so I know that it was the tea tree oil. Thanks ladies.

Tea tree oil helped alot with my recurring cyst. A week of rubbing it on the labia saw good results in a week. I also cleansed internally by ingesting fresh garlic with olive oil on toast (to avoid upsetting the stomach), manuka honey in tea and acf immune booster extra strength .I may have had an infection and now I’m all better. I also avoided sex for that week as well.

While wiping myself three days ago, I noticed a smallish bump which I believe is a Bartholin Cyst after it has tripled in size and doing research. I didn’t have anymore tea tree oil in my house so I made a paste of coconut oil and turmeric, drenched a cotton ball in it and put it on the cyst. 5 hours later I came home and the cyst had popped. I cleaned the area and applied a new paste. Woke up this morning and the cyst has gone down by half. So thankful for the first person who reviewed the turmeric.


Home Remedies for Cysts: What Actually Works?

A cyst is usually not harmful, but you’ll need to see a doctor if you want a cyst removed. Certain home remedies, such as a warm compress, can help reduce any uncomfortable symptoms.

Cysts are hard lumps filled with various substances that form in the body. There are many types. The most common type is an epidermoid cyst, which grows right under the skin.

Doctors or surgeons may help you remove this type of cyst. This is the only reliable way to remove one completely.

On the other hand, you can also try home remedies for your epidermoid cyst. These may help shrink it, reduce its appearance, or alleviate discomfort.

Before discussing home remedies, it’s necessary to go over a few important details:

  • You should never try to remove or pop a cyst at home. This increases chances of infection. Popping also doesn’t guarantee a cyst will go away permanently.
  • None of the remedies in this article are known or proven to remove cysts completely. However, science suggests they may help in indirect ways.
  • Even if they’re not yet proven to work, trying these remedies poses few risks if used correctly.

Remember: If your cyst isn’t causing you problems, you don’t necessarily always need to remove it.

Talk with your doctor if the cyst:

  • bothers you aesthetically
  • gets infected
  • causes pain
  • grows rapidly in size

Simple heat is the most recommended and effective home measure for draining or shrinking cysts.

Here’s how it works: Heat may reduce the thickness of liquid in the cyst. In the case of liquid-filled epidermoid cysts, this may help fluid drain quicker into the lymphatic system. This system helps maintain fluid balance in the body and plays a role in protection against infection.

Keep in mind

Though this remedy is widely recommended by doctors and reputable sources, there are still no studies testing or showing that it’s effective. There’s also no research supporting the science for how it works.

As well, it doesn’t permanently remove cysts — only a healthcare professional can do that. Although this method isn’t guaranteed to drain or reduce the appearance of a cyst, it may be worth a try.

To use

  1. Heat clean water to a warm or hot temperature, not boiling.
  2. Wait for the water to cool to a tolerable, but hot, temperature for skin contact.
  3. Dampen a clean cloth with the water and apply to the cyst for 20 to 30 minutes.
  4. Repeat a few times each day.

Essential oil from the tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) may help some cysts, albeit in an indirect way.

Research shows tea tree oil has antimicrobial activity. This means it kills bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens, though it’s not as strong or effective as synthetic compounds.

Some cysts are caused by ingrown hairs. These form when hair follicles don’t grow properly, leading to infection of a sebaceous gland. This creates a pus pocket that may become a cyst, referred to as a sebaceous cyst.

As an antimicrobial, tea tree oil may help kill bacterial infections caused by ingrown hairs. It may decrease the chances of getting a cyst caused by an ingrown hair or reduce its appearance.

Keep in mind

Overall, tea tree oil isn’t a proven cyst remedy. There are still no studies that show it can remove or prevent cysts.

Also, since not all cysts are caused by ingrown hairs, tea tree oil is highly unlikely to help all types of cysts — though trying it is low risk and may help in shrinking the cyst.

To use

  1. Dilute tea tree essential oil in clean, warm, or hot water. Dilution ratio is two to three drops per 1 ounce of water.
  2. Apply the mixture directly to the cyst several times per day with a clean cloth.

You can also combine tea tree oil applications with the above hot water compress remedy. Simply add essential oil to the hot water in the proper dilution ratio.

Avoid applying undiluted tea tree essential oil directly to the cyst or skin. This may cause discomfort, irritation, or burns. Always dilute the oil before topical use.

Apple cider vinegar is another recommended natural remedy. It may help with cysts to a limited extent.

There are no studies showing apple cider vinegar reduces cysts or removes them.

But, like tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar is shown to be antimicrobial at full strength. This is thanks to the acetic acid. It might not be as effective at lower strengths against some types of microbes, but it’s still important to dilute it before applying it to your skin.

Keep in mind

Apple cider vinegar may be effective for certain kinds of cysts, such as those caused by bacteria, but there’s no guarantee. It may still be worth a try since there are very few health risks.

To use

  1. Mix equal parts of water and apple cider vinegar.
  2. Apply this dilution directly to the cyst several times per day.

You can combine apple cider vinegar applications with the hot water compress home remedy. Simply add the apple cider vinegar to the hot water in the proper dilution ratio.

Never apply undiluted apple cider vinegar directly to skin. Acetic acids may cause discomfort, irritation, or burns.

Research shows that aloe vera has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Both may help with pain and irritation in cysts.

Aloe vera may also help reduce the appearance or get rid of certain cysts caused by bacteria or other pathogens.

Keep in mind

In studies, aloe vera hasn’t been shown to reliably remove, drain, or reduce the appearance of cysts. It could be helpful for discomfort and pain, though more research is needed to fully support this.

To use

Following label directions, apply a pure aloe vera gel, cream, or lotion directly to an irritated or painful cyst as often as needed.

Only source aloe products from reputable and trustworthy companies. It’s best to look at the ingredients list to be sure you’re getting pure aloe.

Oil from the castor plant (Ricinis communis) may help cysts in the same vein as apple cider vinegar or tea tree.

Research shows castor oil is antimicrobial. It’s notably effective at killing bacteria that live in the skin, which can cause acne and cysts.

Keep in mind

Castor oil isn’t a proven cure for cysts, nor is it shown to reduce their appearance.

It’s also unlikely to help all types of cysts, only the types caused by bacteria — though there’s no guarantee it helps with those types either.

To use

Make sure to source a 100 percent pure castor oil product. Only purchase products from trustworthy companies with good reputations.

  1. Put one drop of castor oil on your finger and apply to the cyst.
  2. Apply more if needed, as often as needed. A few times each day is recommended.

Avoid ingesting castor oil if you’re pregnant or allergic to the substance. Also, be aware that it can cause diarrhea if consumed.

Witch hazel is a common topical wash for acne. Research indicates it may help acne due to the astringent and anti-inflammatory properties.

These properties could also benefit epidermoid cysts. It’s possible that witch hazel’s astringent tannins may help shrink them, while anti-inflammatory effects could ease pain.

Keep in mind

There are still no direct studies showing that witch hazel can treat cysts. It’s unlikely that it helps to remove them, though it may ease discomfort.

To use

  1. Dab a cotton ball with witch hazel.
  2. Apply to the cyst area.
  3. Repeat a few times per day or as often as you’d like.

People with sensitive skin may have reactions to witch hazel, but this can be avoided by diluting witch hazel with water.

Some recommend honey for cyst management, though research on this is scarce. However, a 2017 review of studies indicated it has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.

Keep in mind

There’s not enough research to call honey a cyst treatment or remover. Using it may help with discomfort as well as cysts caused by bacteria.

To use

One method is to create a poultice by mixing honey, preferably raw and all-natural, with other antimicrobial herbs and ingredients. You then apply the mixture to the cyst and leave it on overnight.

Alternatively, try this simpler technique:

  1. Put a dab of pure honey on the cyst site.
  2. Leave the honey on the cyst for a few hours, as a longer amount of time may help it to be more effective.
  3. Wash the honey away, and apply more as often as you would like.

While turmeric alone won’t get rid of a cyst, the spice has well-known anti-inflammatory properties that may help with the healing process.

Keep in mind

Turmeric isn’t a cure for cysts. There’s also no guarantee that it’ll prevent or reduce swelling. And it might not help at all with certain types of cysts.

To use

If possible, use fresh turmeric powder.

  1. Mix turmeric with water to create a paste.
  2. Apply it to the cyst as needed.

A word of caution: Turmeric may cause skin reactions in some people. Before applying it directly to your cyst, patch test it on another small area of skin.

Was this helpful?

You can’t prevent a cyst from forming, but you can prevent one from getting infected. The best way to do this is to avoid:

  • squeezing it
  • popping it
  • poking it with anything
  • cutting it open

Is it possible for a cyst to become infected?

Yes. If a cyst is opened and exposed to the elements, bacteria can be introduced into the wound. This can potentially cause an infection.

When should you see a doctor about a cyst?

If your cyst shows signs of infection, it’s time to see a doctor.

Signs of infection include:

  • redness
  • swelling
  • pain
  • being hot to the touch
  • pus

Can cysts go away on their own?

It depends on the type of cyst. However, most epidermoid cysts go away on their own and don’t require a doctor’s visit.

Some home remedies can help with certain aspects of cysts, or specific types. Hot water compresses are most recommended by reputable sources.

Before using topical natural remedies, do a skin patch test: Apply a small amount to your forearm, and then wait for 24 hours to see if you have an allergic reaction. Though these are rare, they could happen.

If a home remedy causes discomfort, irritation, or other unusual symptoms, discontinue use immediately. Talk with your doctor instead about cyst treatment.

Remember that the only proven way to remove a cyst is to have it done by a healthcare professional.

Treatment of a Bartholin gland cyst – opening, exfoliation, marsupialization of the cyst

Treatment tactics depend on the size of the cyst and the presence of inflammatory changes in it. Small, no more than two centimeters, cysts of the Bartholin gland in the absence of complaints do not require urgent therapeutic measures.

Large cysts of the Bartholin’s gland, which disrupt the usual rhythm of life, as well as small cysts that cause physical and psychological discomfort to a woman, are surgically removed.

The purpose of surgical intervention for Bartholin’s cysts:

— Restoration of the normal anatomical structure of the gland by removing the cyst. The cyst of the Bartholin gland is excised, followed by antibacterial treatment of the remaining cavity and the installation of a temporary drainage to drain the contents.

– Ensuring the normal functioning of the gland, that is, restoring the correct outflow of its contents. Simply removing a Bartholin gland cyst is not enough, because after a short time the walls of the duct can “stick together” again, and the cyst will form again. To avoid recurrence of the cyst, it is necessary to restore the duct of the gland. For this purpose, catheterization is performed. Through a small incision, a small silicone tube with a widened end (catheter) is inserted into the cyst cavity. The contents of the cyst are evacuated through the catheter, after which it is left for several weeks until the wound is completely healed. After removal of the catheter, a formed channel of the large gland of the vestibule remains in its place.

Unfortunately, the recurrence of a Bartholin’s cyst after surgical treatment is not uncommon. With frequent relapses, complete removal of the Bartholin gland is indicated.

Opening and drainage

Under local or intravenous anesthesia, the cyst is opened, the cavity is washed with antiseptic solutions, followed by the installation of a rubber drain to create an outflow of secretions. The effect of such an operation is low due to the rapid epithelialization of the incision site and the cessation of outflow from the gland.

Puncture of the cyst

Puncture of the Bartholin gland cyst with removal of the contents of the cyst is performed when the operation is impossible, for example, in pregnant women.

Marsupialization of a Bartholin’s cyst

Marsupialization of a Bartholin’s cyst is the most common surgical treatment. Its task is to preserve the gland and form an artificial excretory duct of the Bartholin gland. The operation is relatively simple, lasting about 20-30 minutes.

During the recovery period, women need to observe increased hygiene measures, refuse intimacy, and eat right. After the wound heals, the hole narrows and a new duct appears in the gland.

Treatment of complications of a cyst of the large gland of the vestibule

Inflammatory pathological processes in the Bartholin gland with blockage of the duct can be prevented if early changes are detected. In the early stages of bartholinitis, inflammation is usually resolved with simple measures:

– Physical rest. With active movements (walking, running, etc.), the inflamed labia are injured and the inflammation may worsen.

– Cold on the affected area as prescribed by the attending physician. Artificial decrease in temperature in the area of ​​inflammation constricts blood vessels, reduces inflammatory edema, relieves pain and prevents further spread of infection to underlying structures. The use of a heating pad, etc., when trying to self-medicate, leads to an even greater expansion of blood vessels, an increase in edema and an exacerbation of the disease.

– Local anti-inflammatory action. Warm (not hot) sitz baths with disinfectants and anti-inflammatory drugs (chlorhexidine, a weak solution of potassium permanganate) and ointment applications on the inflamed area with antibacterial ointments.

— Antibacterial therapy. The loose structure of the vulva and good blood supply to this area create favorable conditions for the rapid development of infection. Thus, the success of therapy is determined by the time of initiation of treatment. Antibiotics are started from the moment the diagnosis is established. Therapy begins with broad-spectrum antibiotics, changing antibiotics if necessary.

– Symptomatic therapy to eliminate pain, allergic manifestations and activate local defenses.

— If the patient has an STD, specific treatment is carried out in parallel with the partner.

Bartholin gland abscesses, like cysts, are treated surgically. First, purulent contents are removed from the gland by opening the abscess and drainage is established. After the symptoms of acute purulent inflammation disappear, the gland duct begins to form.
