thank you so much for this remedy phoebe. i had my first cyst this weekend, noticed it yesterday and it was inflamed and pea sized today. i used a compress with your solution tonight and kept it on for a couple of hours. when i checked it, the cyst had spontaneously drained blood and pus. i did a hot compress when i got home, and it looks sooooo much better. thanks for this, i was freaked out and feel so much better!
