In order to heal, a Bartholin's gland cyst usually must be drained
The CPT code for marsupialization of a Bartholin's gland cyst is 56420. This procedure involves creating an opening in the cyst to allow it to drain and heal properly. It is typically performed when a Bartholin's cyst is symptomatic or recurrent. Always verify with the latest coding guidelines, as codes may be updated or modified.

Normally, bartholin gland cysts aren't treated unless they are causing discomfort. If treatment is needed, the preferred treatment is known as marsupiallization. This is a minor office procedure that prevents the cyst from recurring. Opening and draining the cyst will provide relief, but it is often not long-lasting.

Often, a device (shunt) is implanted within the cyst that drains the fluid away from the cyst and into the ventricles of the brain, or into the peritoneum (abdominal space), thus relieving the pressure.
It may be that you are experiencing exactly what you are supposed to. Marsupialization of a Bartholin's cyst is supposed to leave a small opening when it is complete. This is so that the cyst is much less likely to become infected and form an abscess after the surgery. If, on the other hand, you still have signs of infection (redness, soreness, swelling, and/or drainage), then you should see your doctor.
If it isn't growing or painful it isn't a problem.Such a sebaceous cyst occurs when, for example, an oil gland does not have an opening to the skin surface, and the oil secretions from THAT gland cannot be drained to the surface, keeping the skin healthy. Don't worry though, there are typically plenty of other sebaceous glands that are doing the same thing.
