See a doctor or dermatologist to confirm the type of cyst
Do not squeeze, pop, cut, or drain it yourself
Apply warm compresses to reduce discomfort and encourage natural drainage
Keep the area clean and avoid irritating it
Use over-the-counter pain relief if needed and if safe for you
Get prescribed antibiotics if the cyst is infected
Have a healthcare professional drain it if it is large, painful, or persistent
Have it surgically removed if it keeps coming back or causes problems
Follow wound care instructions after drainage or removal
Seek urgent care if there is fever, rapidly spreading redness, severe pain, or drainage with a bad smell
