I saw a Naturopathic doctor out here, after trying many things due to research, who suggested that I put Black-Walnut tincture in my Sitz baths...(mind you, I recommend the sitz baths be taken in a plastic tub and not a full bathtub because you cannot put enough Epsom Salt in there to draw out enough liquid or pus from the cyst. A small amount of water that you can sit in is ideal and about 1/4 cup of epsom salt)....then putting at least 3 dropperfuls of Black-Walnut tincture in the sitz bath 3-4 times a day. Mine is barely there anymore :) Best wishes!!
