Should I get it surgically removed?

I’ve had this cyst by my bikini line/kinda not for about 2 years now. At first I thought it was an ingrown hair but it’s a cyst and it’s been nonstop bothering me. I’ve tried pressing a hot rag on it and it doesn’t do anything. I’m afraid it will get infected. Has anyone else had a cyst near their vagina? Does it hurt getting it removed? Please help a girl out
