Exclamation Help with cysts????

Can anyone give me some good tips or remedies on healing some cysts I currently have on my forehead?
MY forehead has absoulutly gone crazy. (It's been 4 months since I have been off antibiotics/ currently on them now for 1 week because of wisdom teeth removal, so there goes my build up of Acidophilous). I have been getting two to three per week.
Right now I have three that, when swollen have almost the surface area of a dime. They are mostly swollen when I get out of the shower or when I wash my face. I have been trying what I thought were my best remedies but they just won't compete with a cyst!!!!
Anyway, enough babbling, someone please give me some help! Ecspecially since Christmas is coming up and I want my forehead clear!

The only two remedies for cysts are cortisone injections and time. No topical antibiotics are going to help cysts that are already formed. You can try ice but I doubt it will have much affect.

If you can't get to see a dermatoligist try rubbing some Hydrocortisone 1% cream into the centre of the cyst, then apply some Benzoyl peroxide and pop 2 high strength Ibuprofen, keep taking the Ibuprofen until the swelling subsides. GoodLuck

Thanks everyone for your replies. I think I may try the hyrdocortisone cream and ice or something. I have been trying BP 10% but it is not even phasing them, only making my face dry and stiff.
Thanks again!
