Hello, i used to have a pimple on my penis and it turned into a cyst, what is the best way to treat it or make it go down ?

Dr. Louise Andrew answered

Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Warm compresses: for 15 minutes 4 times daily will help most pimples and cysts to go down, but it may need to be drained by a clinic. This is not a place that you want a spreading infection (like "flesh eating disease") so other than compresses, do NOT try to do anything else yourself.
