BED BUG CYST?: How long has it been there? From what you are saying, it doesn't sound like a "bedbug cyst." never heard of a "bedbug cyst." see your doctor if it has been there for awhile, especially since it has been draining.

See a Doc: You should really see a doctor if it is not healing. It could be infected.
