Can a witch hazel wipe help reduce imflammation of my acne cyst?

No: If you have cystic acne, then you deserve better. Life's hard enough without this. A dermatologist visit is in order; even deep cystic acne is cleared by some of the "big gun" medications, though they are unpleasant and somewhat risky. Good luck.
