I have a cyst on my left cheek. swollen red and tender, lil bigger then an inch, but theres no head on it. should i go to doctor and have it removed?

Need to see a doctor: It is important that you see a doctor promptly for this situation. The fact that the cyst is swollen and tender indicates that it is infected. Although cysts can remain on the skin without presenting a problem your symptoms indicate that it is now infected. It is important to have the infection drained and determine what is causing the infection.
