Brief Answer:
Yes it will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The appearance of a yellowish head on the top of the cyst is likely to be due to a Bartholin's cyst. Frequent Sitz bath and warm compresses will help. She can take a mild pain killer to care of any pain.
In case the pain and swelling are increasing then systemic antibiotics are needed after consulting her gynecologist to control the infection.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
