Hi everyone,
Around the middle of November, an extremely large cyst developed on my forehead (basically between my eye brows). A week later, I decided to get a cortisone shot but that did very little. A month later, I decided to get the entire thing drained. The derm made an incision, pushed out the contents, but did not remove the sac. It looks better than before but now I'm left with a bump with a scar right in the middle. Is the "puffiness" due to the fact that the sac wasn't taken out? Also, can I decrease the "bump" by applying a hot compress? I understand the scar will take its time. I just want to get rid of the raised skin around it.
I think I had something similar on the end of my nose, and it was horrible. I ended up trying to 'pop' it myself which made it 10000x worse. I ended up using a green tea hot compress and it helped a lot. Definitely get more opinions, but it seemed to help me after I had something similar.
You should of left it alone , but i can relate. The green tea either decaffeinated or original kills acne causing bacteria. What work for me more effectively than holding a green tea bag on my face. Was applying honey mixed with some cinnamon and leaving it in over night. The cystic pimple subdue its size and it look much better. The honey opens the pore and kill the bacteria and moisturizes the skin while the cinnamon exfoliates and kills the bacteria aswell. I found this to be really effective when treating deep cysts and pimples that i personal made worse after popping. Try it out, 1 table spoon of raw honey and cinnamon easy ~[_]~
