Use a warm compress on the area for 10 to 15 minutes at a time

Maintain a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
Stay hydrated
Manage stress with relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or gentle yoga
Avoid squeezing, massaging, or trying to drain the cyst yourself
Track changes in size, pain, or appearance and report them to a clinician
