Dear Mimi,
I take it this is a continual irritation because you don't want to wait until after the birth of your baby.
Definitely pregnancy can cause things to "flare up." I have developed skin tags during pregnancy before. The body is in "growing mode" when you are pregnant.
I think scar tissue is a reasonable possibility. I wonder if it is a keloid scar?
Because of pregnancy you are limited in what you can try. But raw organic apple cider vinegar is considered safe in pregnancy. You could dilute it (1 part vinegar and 3 parts water) and apply some to the cyst after each trip to the ladies room. If it burns or bothers you, dilute it more. That is the first thing I would try myself.
I hope it resolves soon and that you have a safe and healthy birth!

Great advice, MamaTM. "Growing" mode and possible keloid makes a lot of sense. And what doesn't ACV do? Love the stuff! :)
