How To Get Rid Of The Cyst On My Cheek Bone?
I think I have a cyst on my cheek bone. I did the unthinkable! I though it was just a zit and regretfully I am a member of the pop it forum. Well now it is huge! It only hurts if I touch it but it has me the normal ("bag") under my eye swell to the point I can visibly see the inflammation. I haven't touched it in two days but it is getting worse!

Hello and welcome to HCM,
You seem to be having a secondary infection on the zit. Apply warm compresses (water soaked in warm water, not too hot mind you) over it 4-5 times a day for 10 days and apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin / fusidic acid.
If the condition doesnt improve in 3-4 days consult your physician to prescribe you an oral antibiotic course.
Hope I helped. Feel free to follow up in case of doubt.
