Do not squeeze, scratch, drain, open (lance), or puncture the lump. Doing this can irritate or inflame the lump, push any existing infection deeper into the skin, or cause severe bleeding.
Keep the area clean by washing the lump and surrounding skin well with an antibacterial soap.
Apply warm, wet washcloths to the lump for 20 to 30 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day. If you prefer, you can also use a hot water bottle or heating pad over a damp towel. The heat and moisture can soothe the lump, increase blood circulation to the area, and speed healing. It can also bring a lump caused by infection to a head (but it may take 5 to 7 days). Be careful not to burn your skin. Do not use water that is warmer than bath water.
If the lump begins to drain pus, apply a bandage to keep the draining material from spreading. Change the bandage daily. If a large amount of pus drains from the lump, or the lump becomes more red or painful, evaluation by a health professional may be needed.

Apply heat to draw the cyst to the surface. Do not squeeze it. Apply moist heat until it opens on its own. Once opened, allow it to drain and remain open until it is completely drained. Then apply an antibiotic cream or ointment to it. This may sound nuts, but the best way I have found to apply moist heat is to warm tomatoes, place them in a bag and squish them, wrap a wet washcloth around the bag and apply to the area. I get these all the time from the diabetes I have. This works pretty good.

Yes, honestly, either soak in a warm bath or. . . . better yet, slice a potatoe, hold it on the cyst with a bandaid or something, the potatoe will draw the stuff from inside the cyst out, try that
