Maybe this will help others with old bartholin cysts. This process took me four months but my cyst eventually drained.
Took Serrapeptase each morning on empty stomach.
Ichthammol Ointment (Black Salve) - piled on thick and covered with large gel bandage used for four days straight then rest three days. This was messy and I did it at night. This was done for a month.
Prid Ointment- After waiting a week after using Black Salve I began using this product by applying a thin coat and massaging it into the cyst. I did this for four days then rested three. Did this for a month.
While using Prid I also used Tea Tree vaginal suppositories to help with bacterial overgrowth within the vagina. Since bacteria can become immune to the effectiveness of Tea Tree Oil I used this product for four days then rested for three for the length of one month.
Be warned Black Salve and Prid both can cause soreness (for some people) in the area of it's usage due to the pulling to the surface any infection, impurities, or biological stagnation. So I stopped using both of those products and focused on clearing up bacterial overgrowth I theorized was causing my bartholin tube blockage thusly causing the cyst.
First oinment was:
Cinnamon Bark essential oil 1/2tsp, Thyme essential oil 1/2 tsp, Basil essential oil 1/2 tsp, Rosemary essential oil 1/2 tsp, Virgin Coconut Oil 1/3 cup.
I used this oinment for a month applying it to the inner vaginal lips from front to back making sure I covered the area of the bartholin tube. I did this at night before bed.
Second Ointment was:
Peppermint 1/2 tsp, Thyme 1/2tsp, Basil 1/2tsp, Patchouli 1/2tsp, Fractionated Coconut oil 1/8 cup and Castor Oil 1/8 cup.
I started using this mixture the next night after ending the previous mixture. Applying it in the fold and the side of the inner vaginal lips. I did it this way to make sure I didn't miss the bartholin tube opening since it's so tiny making it hard to see. I did this two weeks.
You can kill bacterial overgrowth in the tube itself allowing bartholin secretions to exit the tube however it's still possible to have the original cyst and here's why. I had my bartholin cyst for well over twenty plus years and the trapped secretions actually got thicker and could no longer flow through the bartholin tube due to viscosity. So in spite of the tube bacterial causes being minimized I still had my orange size cyst of thick fluid.
Even though it had been a couple of months since my last salve treatment apparently it never stopped working. The fluid in the cyst came to a head in which it was able to drain from the body from a spot weakened by the salves pulling action months earlier allowing cyst contents to flow out.
The cyst contents was brown with the consistency of toothpaste. Surprisingly no smell at all. Actually it looked like the Prid's salve by color and consistency. The draining of my cyst took almost two hours in which I had to gently squeeze it like one would to get the last remaining toothpaste from a tube. Not too hard to cause injury but enough to force any remaining drainage from the skin sac that once housed the cyst.
So now I'm working on tightening the skin where the almost thirty year old cyst was once located.
I felt an immediate difference once the fluid was drained. Yes the skin that was pulled tightly by the cyst was a little sore but overall I felt like my old self again. :-)
