How to reduce a cyst bump? Hot compress?

I have a cyst forming on the side of my head. It's at a large bump at the moment and I was wondering if a hot compress would help make the bump smaller. I don't see any white pus on the surface and it's only a red bump and getting small pain from it. Is the best way to make a hot compress is by microwaving a wet washcloth for 30 seconds, and then put the washcloth in a ziplock bag and put it on the bump? Thanks

 

I hope I could bring it down by Monday if I do this plenty of times a day and have it gone when I start school again. It's making the left side of my face look swollen :(

wats hot compress?

 

i find the only way to defeat a cyst is to get it early - ice and bp. However i had a few cysts that i didnt treat a few days, and then it got inflammed/infected, i got a needle and squeed. now i have a bump scar.

Hot water mixed with Epsom salt. Here's my routine:

 

1) Pop it via needle

2) Immediately afterwards apply the hot towel with Epsom salt

3) After water becomes Luke warm hop in a hot shower and bath as normal

I've been doing the hot compress with my towel for about 4 days now. And the cyst hasn't shown any sign of a whitehead
