How To Remove A Cyst On Your Face

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.

  1. 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.

  3. Trying Home Remedies • Try using a warm compress.Wet a washcloth with warm water. Don’t 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.
