Of course, it smells awful, so I used it only in the house and overnight. During the day I used a 2% hydrocortisone cream to keep the area as germ-free as possible. I used a one-inch square medical bandage overnight - difficult to stay still and keep in place, but it took about a week and the cyst was gone. Entirely. I had the cyst about two months and did not want to deal with some western medical expensive nonsense of the kind I've been reading here. I always look for alternatives to intrusive and expensive and overkill western medicine when possible. The cyst was only about the size of a small marble and was not agonizing, but still annoying as hell!
For larger cysts I would imagine it would take more than a week to get a response, but GO FOR IT!
