It's really big, about an inch and a half long under my right eye. It looks bruised and is really noticeable to other people. I've read that dermatologists have a shot that can remove them. My biggest problem is that I don't have medical insurance. How much does this shot cost, and are there any alternative treatments that are cheaper or more effective?

How long have you had this cyst? Has a doctor seen this yet? It can be something more than just a cyst, such as skin cancer (not to alarm you, but if this is something that suddenly "popped up", then you really need to see a doctor about this.) However, if this is something that slowly developed, you may be right and may be a sebaceous cysts. Sebaceous cysts are harmless, slow-growing bumps under the skin, often appearing on the scalp, face, ears, back, or groin area. The cysts usually contain dead skin and other skin particles. Treatment for sebaceous cysts: Sebaceous cysts can usually be treated by a physician by puncturing the top and removing its contents. However, large cysts may reappear and may have to be surgically removed. If a cyst becomes infected, treatment may include administering antibiotics and then surgically removing the cyst. I also read that some cysts may disappear on their own after time and not reappear. If you're worried about cost, try calling a medical college or local doctor and ask for a reference as to where you could go for a reasonable cost to get this looked at. When I was pregnant, I used a clinic used to train doctors, which saved me quite a bit of money.
