Seems like a keloid not a cyst. Better visit a plastic surgeon near you. Keloids tend to increase in size over a period of time.

It's a keloid. Intralesional triamcinolone injections are the mainstay. If it's every big then we do a Intralesional excision, but then there is always a chance of recurrence.
