Hello-

How do you treat existing cysts that are just hanging around on your face?

Usually I give them time to go away by themselves, but this takes months.

Is there anything that can speed up their diminishment? It's no longer inflamed nor does it hurt, but I feel like it hanging around there can trigger its re-inflammation (which has happened before), not to mention prolonging its unsightliness.

If it helps to provide some background, I had this particular cyst injected with cortisone when it first appeared. It went down almost completely but afterwards it became minimally inflamed again, and then grew in size a little until it got to be where it is now -- medium-sized, no longer inflamed, but just sitting there.

I found that magnesium sulfate paste was the only thing applied each night brought my cyst to a head
