Possible Cist
Posted: 06-07-05 21:15pm

Not sure if this is the correct section, but here it goes...


I either have a cist or a staph infection on my upper forehead. It's definitely not a zit. It's a bump under the skin that makes the skin stick out. It's a little bit red(possibly from what i've done to it) but isn't noticeable from a distance of..Say..5 feet. It's been there for about 6 months now and it's starting to annoy me. I've tried poking several holes in it with a sterilized needle and squeezing it to remove what ever is in it and it didn't work.


Someone said that if it's a cist, I can put a warm towel to it for several minutes at a time and the puss will come out. I tried it and it didn't work.


I went to the doctor about 2 months ago and they said that they cant do anything because it's on my face and if they mess up, then I could sue. Then they called my doctor and left him a message and he called my moms house(the number they have for me) and my mom called me and told me to call the doctor but I never did.


How can I tell if it's a sist or a staph infection? Is the only way to cure it to go to the doctors? Thanks.

Is this in the wrong section or does no one know the answer?
