Cyst on private area

About a week ago (shortly before her period) my fiance developed what looks like a small pimple on/below her clitoris. We know that it is neither genital warts or herpes because it doesn't hurt/itch/show other symptoms and we each have only had sex with each other and I don't have either of those diseases. My google-fu has told me that it is likely a cyst and should go away on its own as long as it does not become infected, but in the week and a half since she has finished her monthly, it has not gone away.
We have resolved that if it starts to become painful or grow larger we would take her to a doctor. My questions would be this:
Is there anything we could do to make it go away faster?
If it does come to a point where she would need to see a doctor, what kind of doctor should she go see? Since she is uninsured (hurray college student) how much would a doctor's visit cost?
Thank you for any help!

It's not a sore though. That's what is so weird about it. It doesn't even hurt after rubbing it and whatnotWe will check out the clinic to be sure but it literally looks like a white head pimple. It also isn't open, or leaking anything to that effect. Luckily the clinic has summer hours and we are local so we can check things out tomorrow.
have her take warm baths and soak for a while, she can take a book or watch a movie on a laptop if she has one.
if warm baths isn't desirable, you can also put a warm wet towel on the area and let it sit for a while. if it is a sebaceous cyst you want to loosen the inner material so that the body will reabsorb it.
and, as others said, see a doctor.
Why are you so sure ?, some illnesses are dormant in our bodies for years. Your girlfriend should see a Gynecologist or a Dermatologist, if they are not sure what it is, a biopsy is the next step.
Also, a hot teabag (wow could that be taken wrong) will work.
Especially areas that get sweaty a lot. Thought I'd let you know.
Armpits, butts, knees, crotches, faces.
Thank you to everyone for offering their advice!
any moderator wishing to close out the thread, be my guest!
It is, indeed, very common for women to get cysts there. Congrats it's no big thing anymore.
Lab test came back that it was not a subasuous cyst as per initial diagnosis but instead a tumor ( not malign). Don't be gambling with bumps in your crotch man get GF to a doctor. Hard yellow balls under the skin are ugly.
man so late to the thread
Good that she's alright though.
