I have an inflamed pimple due to ingrown hair on my body. It filled up to the size of a small marble and drained by itself in December. However, it keeps refilling every now and then. I've noticed it getting inflamed for about 6 times now. The discharge is mostly clear, or with pus and blood. Please advise.

I have got something like a cyst or an ingrown pimple, which has just come on the surface of my skin and the area around it has slightly swollen and hence pains a lot at times. What should be done ? Should I just use ice pack and let it heal by itself or apply some cream ? Plus, will it leave a scar ? By the way, the cyst is perceptibly big !
