So about a month ago I had a huge cyst on my cheek. I drained it and at first it seemed to heal, but each time i drained it, it filled up with pus again (ew). But then eventually, it started filling with a clearish liquid that keeps coming out and this has been going for a month. Is this an infection of sorts? I tried to let it heal by not touching it but it fills up and bursts open again by itself.

clear liquid is plasma, its cleaning itself out. not much you can do. you shouldnt have popped it! they can scar so badly

i know :(

 

 

try to not let the fluid contact other areas of skin around it though or bacteria can spread so easily

I'm currently having the EXACT same problem, going on month 2. Nothing helps - BP, Hydrogen peroxide, Polysporin, baking soda etc. Has yours cleared up??
