I had a bad saddle sore last winter. Don't know if it was just a "boil" or what, but it took months to go away. Moist heat helped a lot---Everytime after I showered, I'd put a steaming hot wash cloth on it. Hot as you can stand. Then, dry it off, put hydrogen peroxide and then, neosporin on it. It finally went away.

How about, if you really can't stay off the bike, but put some moleskin around it, like you do a blister on the foot, and cushion it a little bit? Anyone ever tried that? I know it's in a sensitive place with lots of bending, but it might work with a little ingenuity.

Thankfully I have not had one, so I cannot offer any help other than to say I am thinking good thoughts and hoping some of the remedies the other woman have listed will help alleivate the pain so you ride well until you are able to see a doctor.

Thank you lots! Will try to put hot wash cloth today. Went for a ride today and was actually able to adjust on the saddle so that I am not sitting directly on the cyst. But once it has some pressure it;s a big OUCH i must tell you

You probably want to get it checked to make sure it isn't a bartholins cyst. Those can be a little trickier to get rid of.
.The space and time for what you WANT is being occupied by what you have settled for

Shelly, is that OTC cream or you can only get it by prescription?
