Bartholin’s Cyst

So I’ve had this bump right near my vagina for a little while but it’s gotten bigger recently. It has started to hurt and cause discomfort in everyday life like peeing and having sex. I looked it up and have decided that, based on its location, it’s an abcess or cyst in my Bartholin’s gland. Has anyone ever dealt with this before? How do you get it to go away? I’m a waitress and feel that there’s been a wave of bacteria storming down there since holiday season has been among us (waitresses move around a lot trying to make everyone happy). Any suggestions?
