They recur because of either too much skin around the opening of the gland or gland keeps getting infected. Since yours is painful, it's probably infected, and you MUST see a doctor. Sit in a warm tub until you can get to one. If you have Epsom salts, put those in the tub.

Your doctor may suggest surgery. Marsupialization is the surgical technique of cutting a slit into an abscess or cyst and suturing the edges so that it can remain open and drain freely.
