Cyst or what under skin......?

Question

I've had a hard tiny ball like under the skin of my vagina near the lip, I've had it there since I was about 11 years old now 19 and I had the same thing but on the other side but much smaller. It was not at all visible on the skin, only when I felt.. I'm able to pick it up with the skin and move it in my fingers because it's like a ball shaped. Two months ago I thought I would give the smaller one (tiny) a squeeze to see if it was anything and thick white stuff came out of it and it's gone, and I'm trying to do the same thing but with the other one and it's not working, it also now has a white colour to it. Now it's visible on the skin, there's a bump there. I've never had a cyst before but does this at all sound like it could be and or is it common with anybody else ??

It may be what is called a Bartholin's Glands Cyst.

The Bartholin’s glands are tiny glands located on each labia minora, near the vaginal opening. These glands produce fluid that lubricates the entrance to the vagina and can become blocked, causing a cyst to develop. The cyst can become tender and, if large, can cause discomfort when walking/sitting. If the cyst is small and is asymptomatic, it can just be monitored. Sometimes the cyst can become infected and develop into an abscess. In these cases, the cyst or abscess can be drained by a doctor.

Hi it could be a blocked hair follicle so you could try antiseptic cream, my sister used to suffer and was given antibiotics from the doctor.
