How do you reduce the redness of a facial cyst

[Bhupinder Kaur, MD]

Hello,
The treatment for a cyst depends upon the cause of the cyst along with its location.For the redness of cyst,just apply some warm compresses and take some oral anti inflammatory drug.If the symptoms persist then other methods need to be employed.It includes drainage,aspiration or surgical removal of the cyst by traditional wide excision, minimal excision, and punch biopsy excision.In case there is any suspicion of the cyst being malignant then biopsy may have to be performed.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
