The best first step is not to squeeze it. Warm compresses can ease the pain while you arrange to see a doctor.
In the clinic, the area is numbed and the cyst is opened and drained, which quickly releases the pressure.
Once the inflammation calms down, the sac can be removed so the lump does not keep coming back in the same place.
Keeping the area clean, shaving carefully around it and watching for spreading redness all help it heal well.
Take it one day at a time and get the right care. The videos below show cysts near the ear and cheek being treated.
