What Causes Recurrent Fluid Filled Cyst On The Face?

I am a 33 year old woman who has never had any skin problems until I got married in June this year and developed a cyst the size of a 5p coin on my face 2 weeks afterwards. I took various prescribed antibiotics and creams to no effect and eventually had it aspirated at the clinic to remove the fluid. I had this procedure again 3 weeks later and eventually it went down to the visible eye although remained hard under the skin.



2 weeks later it started getting bad again and is becoming more raised up every day, but this time it really hurts and the area feels bigger - the size of a 10p coin. I would be really grateful for any advice you can give as it is becoming difficult to come to work - especially as I can feel the size of the area and know the problem is getting worse. As a young woman I am devastated to have developed this and am desperate to find a solution. Kind regards, Tara

HI
When the cyst is infected, all that can be done is aspiration and antibiotics but once the infection is resolved it needs to be fully surgically excised to get rid of it for good
