Facial cysts are usually clogs of sebum or keratin in your skin and hair follicles. They usually feel like a small pea caught below the surface of the skin, and they may be ringed by a small red, white area. Although a cyst may look similar to a pimple, it is deeper in the skin and should not be “popped” like a white head. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

How to Remove a Cyst on Your Face
2
  • Facial cysts are usually clogs of sebum or
    keratin in your skin and hair follicles.
  • They usually feel like a small pea caught below
    the surface of the skin, and they may be ringed
    by a small red, white area.
  • Although a cyst may look similar to a pimple, it
    is deeper in the skin and should not be popped
    like a white head.
  • Fortunately, there are other strategies that can
    help to speed the healing of your cyst, as well
    as medical strategies that can remove it
    altogether.

Trying Home Remedies
  • Try using a warm compress.Wet a washcloth with
    warm water. Dont use hot water, or it can
    inflame the skin. Press the washcloth lightly
    against the cyst and surrounding area. Leave it
    on until the washcloth becomes cool to the touch.
  • The warm compress can help to disperse the
    protein or oil in the cyst and speed healing
    however, it does not work in all cases.Some
    reports suggest it can cut the lifespan of your
    cyst in half.

4
Do not try to pop or squeeze your cyst by yourself
Trying to pop or squeeze your cyst will likely
only make it worse. This is because cysts can
penetrate quite deep into the skin,and if you try
to do this procedure on your own (without the
help of an experienced physician) you
are unlikely to do it effectively.
5
Recognize signs of complications
If your cyst has become infected or inflamed, you
will want to see a doctor for guidance regarding
treatment.
6
Make an appointment with a dermatologist
If your health care coverage requires a referral
to see a specialist,you will want to arrange for
an appointment with your primary care physician
first. Give your doctor an accurate description
of your medical history, and explain to him or
her the detailed history of your facial cyst.
