    go see the doctor!! they can lance it and put an anticeptic dressing on it. It is much better to take these type things to the doctor!!! It can get infected and cause even more problems!!

    Soak in warm water and press with a warm compress until it comes to a head and then squeeze and squeeze until just mostly pure blood comes out. Keep soaking and squeezing to remove as much of the cyst and pus as possible. Look at getting a ring cushion or getting up and moving every 20 minutes while seated to not aggravate it. If none of this clears it up, consider seeing a doctor as it could be something more serious.
