Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this cyst I have recently gotten in the past 3 days. About 3 years ago, I got the same cyst, and got rid of it with doxycycline. But now it has returned, and it seems to be larger and more swollen. It started when I got a small whitehead in the spot it previously was, and it just got more and more inflammed into a full on cyst. Its now the size of about a quarter and I really dont know what to do. Im on doxycycline and Retin-A, but I still feel like its getting worse. Is there anything else I can do to help the swelling go down or the redness fade? Thanks for the help

I think you should go see your dermatologist.

apply ice to it in bursts over a 30 min period.

I find ice helps reduce the inflammation and helps my cyst go down that little bit quicker.

I personally use ice packs and put it in a new plastic glad wrap every night. Easily achievable by doing it over tv or something.
