Have it removed.: It's a lot easier to have a cyst removed when it is not infected. Seek professional help when you get a chance, especially if it is bothering you. Good luck from nyc.

Excise it: Geberally these do not disappear on their own and the cyst will generally require excision for definitive treatment.
