What is the best and safest way to remove a cyst just under the skin?

Is there something to put on the skin surrounding the area to deaden the pain before cutting?

What is the best and safest way to remove a cyst just under the skin?
PLEASE DONOT OPEN THE CYST. YOU CAN POTENTIALLY POP IT UNDER YOUR SKIN AND SPREAD THE INFECTION TO OTHER AREAS OF YOUR BODY..


DONT DONT DONT DO IT!





I believe that you may have a condition called Hidradenitis Supprativa. It is a condition of re-occurring boils/ cysts/abscesses , that are often misdiagnosed as ingrown hairs, herpes, being unclean and folliculitis. This is a newly diagnosed skin condition , but there is a lot of info out there.


Here is a link :

If this sounds like it might be you, READ it, PRINT it out, and TAKE it to your DOC.


Its better to try to start treatment soon, it can spread over the body if left untreated. These boils can become quite large and painful. Sometimes even lasting for weeks or months , do not attempt to POP them they can then tunnel under your skin and spread all over the body. Most common areas are armpits, groin, binkni line, inner legs, and intimate places and basically anywhere that sweats and rub against clothing. Stress is a big inducer.





There is some support groups at MSN

and yahoo, and I am open for questions!


I have had this for 8 years, I was misdiagnosed for a LONG time, It was very embarrassing, painful and scary. I am just trying to help out so you don’t have to wait as long as I did.
Reply:You can get an antiseptic cream- I get them from work but you can get it from your pharmacy I'm sure-





I have used a needle (sterilized- again from work) to extract one.. If it is not tiny then don't do it yourself- if you still decide to do it yourslelf MAKE SURE you have got sterile instruments.. really- it will get infected and be horrid...





Don't cut too deep
Reply:Ice..?





I'm not exactly sure if I'd do this myself... Have you tried anything to like.. draw it out or something.. Castor Oil, Tea Tree Oil.. other OTC products? That could really be a painful disaster if you try this and mess up... When all you really had to do was go see a doctor =\





If you do though just be careful.. and goodluck.
