Had a cyst on my tailbone. It was a big nasty fucker, looked like a whitehead, but the size of a half dollar coin. It was super painful to even wear jeans, fucker was angry. Lanced that bastard with a sewing needle, then opened it up a little more with a paring knife. Got about a shot glass worth of puss out and it smelled like the Ganges. Got it cleaned up real good and slapped some gauze on it. Fast forward a couple hours and I'm a new man. I can sit on my ass again without feeling like eating a bullet. My wife thinks I'm insane, but you really can't argue with results. Anyway, yeah I really don't like hospitals. That was one of the most painful things I've done, but at least I didn't have to deal with Dr Diversity and Nurse tiktok. Y'all think I can run that paring knife through the dishwasher, or should I just throw it in my tackle box?

Ain't much a soak in bleach water won't kill. I'd add in a squeeze of Dawn Antibacterial to kill it extra-special dead, but likely unnecessary.
Marigold/Calendula salve will 'draw' sebaceous cysts, and bring them to a head faster. Also comfrey salve will heal them up quicker after popping.
