A member asked:
I don't know if i have a cyst or a spider bite. it's been swollen for 3 days, when i go to pop it brownish/red pus comes out then it refills?

Cyst: Either way you should not pop this lesion. Instead apply warm compresses. If there is spreading redness or persistent swelling with pus, have a physician examine and advise you. It may need incision and drainage which you shouldn't attempt.
