I've had cysts for years mainly on my chin. Nothing topical seems to work. I think it has to do with hormones internally. What does help though is when I first feel one coming on is to apply heat to it. I made a rice sock out of a baby sock. Fill sock up with rice, tie at end, and then heat in the microwave until hot. You'll have to play around with how long. Whatever you do, don't burn it cause the smell is horrible. Anyway, then apply the rice sock on the cyst for about 10 to 15 minutes 3 times a day. I've had cysts go completely away in a ay using this method, and the ones that do come up go away fast, don't get as big, or come to head quickly so they'll pop. I hope this helps you.
