i have tried to wait some of mine out when i was younger and they never went away so i just went and got cortisone shots to get rid of them. i think the longer they are around the better a chance of a scar of some sort. are you not able to get injections?

benzoyl peroxide

Using benzoyl peroxide, chemical exfoliaters and manual exfoliaters help my cysts go away faster, but to be honest, if I can see even a slight head on it I will use a sterilized needle to pop it. Goes away fast after that. I used to go to my dermatologist to get cortisone shots but after the last time I did that I had an atrophy for 4 months, that was way worse than any acne could be. Everyone's skin is different, I've never gotten a scar from any cyst/nodule or from popping.

I just recently purchased the buffering lotion from Mario badescu. I saw a few reviews on it on you tube. It's made for cystic acne. I can't report how well it works on cystic acne because I haven't had one pop up yet but I'm sure it will soon. I get them pretty often. Anyways I did have a pimple coming up yesterday just starting to form and I put some of the buffering lotion on it and right now it's almost gone. Normally if I get a pimple i pop it and then it grows into a big open mess that takes at least a week to clear. I purchased it at ulta by the way. Good luck. I feel your pain.
