A member asked:
I had a cyst on my face, which i foolishly picked. now it's a wound, ugly and painful, what can i do for it to heal faster?

Concerned: You need to be seen by a physician. Your description is consistent with an abscess or possible skin infection. Both need an intervention by a physician. Whether it is antibioitics (skin infection) or incision and drainage (abscess).
