Hi everyone.. Just got my first cystic pimple 
it took almost 3 weeks to get into a dermatologist and by then my forehead cyst was huge (dime sized), painful and almost coming to a head. The derm decided to do an injection. While doing the injection, the cyst popped and pus came gushing out, so he lanced it and there was pus and blood everywhere. He gave a squeeze and literally the cyst is gone. He gave me a prescription for spiro. So, it's the night of, and I'm really sore. I've bled through a few bandaids. I've put on a bandaid and polysporin.
It's now completely flat (8 hrs post appointment) except for the middle that looks a bit hole like from where the pus came from. You all know so much, and I'd love your thoughts in whether this will scar?
Please help.. Comments, suggestions, anything would be helpful!

The second photo was a few hours after the lance/injection
Yeah it's gonna scar. A cyst that big bursting will leave a scar on you regardless of how super your skin healing genetics are. You have some scars underneath that healing wound, that's probably what it'll look like if cysts caused those scars too.
I would get laser resurfacing in a month or two. The newer a scar is, the better it'll respond to scar treatments. Luckily, you have mild boxcar scarring and fraxel repair improves those kinds of scars a lot.
Keep it moist...a moist wound heals much better than a dry one.

its not proven fraxel repair improves boxcars .
