Hey guys.
I'm new here so I have no idea what to do, but here it goes;
3 years ago, a cyst formed under the skin on my left cheek - way(!) under the skin. I don't remember if I picked at it at the time, but I haven't for at least 2 years.
The thing is; twice has the inflammation gone up, but after treating it with antibiotics, the inflammation and swelling went down. It's still there, probably the size of a penny, but cyst isn't my main problem... that would be the hyperpigmentation, because the area around the cyst is purple, and has been for 3 years!
I'm 99% sure that this is unusual. I've tried Bio-oil, ACV, icing it, stuff like that, and was hoping maybe one of you guys knew of some voodoo or black magic to make this "bruise" go away?
If it hasn't gone anywhere in 3 years, it is unlikely it will go anywhere soon. Your skin cells have already turned over many times without changing it, indicating that chemical peels are not going to work. I think your best option is to go to a dermatologist and get it removed. The purpleness is most likely caused by the pressure from the cyst on your surrounding skin.
