Is my pain and itching due to a popped Bartholin cyst?

Hello doctor,

I had a Bartholin cyst that popped, and now I am experiencing itchiness, redness, pain, and tenderness in my private area with small red bumps on it.

I had sex about two nights ago. That same night, I went straight to sleep afterward. When I woke up the next morning, a felt a lump in my throat, and my vaginal area was itchy and painful. I kept touching and scratching it, but it hurt to scratch. That is when I felt a bump that was unusually large in my vaginal area. I also felt a large bump in the area, so I noticed one of my Bartholin glands was significantly swollen compared to the others.

The next day, I suspected it might be a Bartholin cyst. So I tried to treat it. I tried to manage it by going outside to mow the grass. I wore a thong and super-tight shorts because I had read on the internet that applying pressure helps reduce swelling. After mowing for about an hour and a half, the cyst appeared smaller. Like it had popped. But there were no signs of pus discharge.

I then took a bath and Ibuprofen, which helped relieve pain and itching. I also applied a heating pad directly onto the area, which did not seem to have much effect. I have had a Bartholin cyst before, but that was not because of skin contact with metal, an allergic reaction. That one went away within a few minutes. Please help.

Thank you.
