Dematologist can give u a shot to reduce it. Ibuprofin/advil is suppose to help with sweeling. Otherwise, Just time.2-3 days, hopefully. I NEVER pick at it if I cant see the white pore with pus. This took me YEARS to Learn. Sometimes, I even let it "grow" a 1-2 days so that it is easier to pop, and enRAB up healing faster and scaring less. Othewise, if I pick at it early, or dont see the white pore with pus, It gets Bigger, Reder, Scabs and Scars. This always makes me VERY angry afterwarRAB. So I ACCEPT the loss of battle for the day. Cyst 1, Me 0. Half the time, the bigger cyst WILL show the obvios clogged pore later in the week. THEN it almost pops itself. If It doesnt show Up, it usually takes about 3-4 weeks for the cyst/lump to flatten and fade. Do U already KNOW this? Have I said too much? Good luck.
