only advice i can give you is that time will heal everything, and try not to disturb it, its like a cold, let it run its course.

I have had this one on my chin for 2 months. Its starts going away and then comes back. Sometimes ill get one right next to it, and it forms into like on big cyst.. Try not to sqeeze it, and don't pop it till it sticks out, somtimes u can see the whitehead but its still deep. (on my cysts anyways )

But ive been taking b-5 for about 2 months (2g) and a b-complex, my cysts are all gone, except for this chin one, which might be cause there is a deep infection. Well anyways, one of these days it will go away and leave me a nice little scar.

Sorry to make things sound bad, just don't squeeze it. Maybe try to keep it moisturized all the time too? I still need help on my cystic ones.

Btw the b vitamins i think are helping me a lot, took about 2 months but it was like an instant notice, cysts have stopped (think when i do have a cystic episode now, it goes to the one thats on my chin, might be wrong. But thats better than multiple ones.) and my face gets minimal pimples.


Good Luck

Perhaps you should use ice instead of heat on it. And you could take ibuprofen for the inflammation and discomfort. They can be such painful buggers!! You could also consider cortisone injections. I have had a few of mine injected. The first 3 it worked awesome!! Left absolutely no sign after only a few days (or maybe 4 or 5 days). This last one (injected by a different derm than the first ones) left me with a small indentation and a dark marking. That has subsided for the most part but has taken a couple months to do so. I am sure that was the result of too much medication (Kenalog) injected into the site.

are peanuts good or bad for cysts??? or even acne in general?
