I developed a new cyst last week on my forehead and 1 or 2 days ago it formed a white head. I havent popped it yet. Should I pop it? I feel as if it will eventually pop on its own in the shower or something.

Nah, just follow the sticky thread on what to do. Last resort, cortisone shot.

No dun pop it. Mine will burst by itself usually after shower. Only then i will squeeze the pus gently. N then it will be crater like scar. I just rub toner n BP with it n let it dry. N let the scab fall off by itself too to prevent bad scarring.

I will not put BP on it because it will make redmarks last longer. Also, my zit won't scab after I pop it unless I use a lot of force which is not needed since it can pop VERY easily. It is definitely ripe at this time so icing is not needed. I also want to stay away from ibuprofen since I'm taking cold medicine. I am already applying neosporin. I have a feeling it will pop on its own very soon...

Well what do you know. I just took a shower and it ended up popping. I will be applying neosporin on it
