can I treat at home

NSFWAsking a Question

So I have this cyst thingy and its been hurting like crazy since 3 days ago. Today I planned on going to the doctor but as I see this morning it has started leaking by it self. Could I handle this issue my self if I was to pop, clean it with alcohol and obviously involve some antibiotics. Going to the doctor would be a hassle since I don't currently have insurance but it could be resolved in 2 days.

You don’t want to pop it on your own by squeezing it or anything else forceful. You can apply heat using warm water in a tub, hot towel or heating pad.

Ok basically i wait for it to drain it self is what u mean.

Ok I did try the force strat and it did not work out, suprisingly did not hurt but did not get the full thing out.

I'll just heat the thing up and clean what gets out.

thanks for info

Yes squeezing it can make things worse

Try sulfur and salicylic acid soap bar multiple times a day to wash the area. This stop the cyst from reoccurring.

I would be careful about the person who keeps posting, "try sulfur and salicylic acid soap bar multiple times a day to wash the area. This stop the cyst from reoccurring", as these home remedies, not only don't work, they can create skin cracking and rashes if you aren't careful and use too often. I feel for you about the insurance; makes it difficult to come up with a good treatment plan with a doctor.
