A painful cyst on my forehead

2017-11-10 17:20:34
1year back, A small Cyst was there on my forehead. It feels like a 'Pea' which can move under the skin. It didn't even hurt throughout the 1 year even if I try to squeze/roll that pea part. But from last 4-5 days, It increased its size and its becoming painful when I touch that. I consulted a doctor nearby and he had given me a medicine named "Citzen-D". The medicine is over but still I am having pain along with that bumpy cyst. please help 😓
