Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with an inflamed cyst. It is quite common for cysts to appear on the skin. It is considered harmless but may increase in size or suddenly become inflamed or infected over time. If there are such changes, surgical removal (excision) of the cyst would be your best option.
If there is also pain and inflammation, you will often need a course of antibiotics to help the area settle down as well.
We routinely perform such cyst removal at our on site day surgery facility. Do let us know if we can be of help. Hope you feel better soon!
Warmest regards
Dr Stephanie Ho, Dermatologist
