A few months ago I had a cyst on the upper right side of my cheek but at first I didnt do anything about it because it was under the skin and wasn't visible. Then one day it became this huge bump that you could clearly see and it was disgusting and sore. so I went to the dermatologist and he made a small incision and drained the cyst and then gave me perscription pills monodox to take. Now, there are no visible large bumps on my face but in that area, I can feel something there under the skin. not something big like before but I still feel a couple bumps around there. I'm not sure if I should go to the dermatologist because I feel like he will just give me more perscription pills and the pills I took the first time would sometimes upset my stomach and make me nauseous. if anyone has had these issues or could help me with this I would really appreciate it/:

I have those too! Those little bumps seem to flare up for me in the same places and it's so annoying. I use a Daily scrub with charcoal in it to suck out the bad stuff in the skin as well as to take away the layers of dry skin above the bumps so that when I apply my salicylic acid acne medication it can penetrate easier and do its job.

The bumps there have been under there for a whileee and they don't surface or anything and I use proactiv plus which works really good on my skin but I just want those bumps to go away/:

Well if you're really bothered with them then go to the dermatologist and he can probably flush them out. using scrubs and topical medication can work but it will just take time.

I had a cyst on my nose a while ago!! What I did was put vapor (the little sticky stuff you put on yur chest and throat when sick) on the cyst and put a bandage on it before I went to sleep! In a week, it went away and the swelling was gone!! Try it out cause it worked for me!

Also make sure you use oil free facial scrubs because cyst form due to oil under the skin

I totally know how you feel! Mine was like right on top and in the middle of nose!! It literally looked like a mosquito bit me! Seriously try the vapor and the bandage thing because it worked like in 4 days! I don't even have the bump or even a marking on my nose!!
