Cyst: Use of heat could^ blood flow which may cause itching or your may have burned your skin if compresses were too hot. If this is a sebaceous cyst- they often resolve on their own or they may remain without causing problems. If there is a lot of redness, swelling, heat, tenderness - this could have become infected. Occasionally a cyst may need to be excised. Talk to your doctor if this worsens.
