Question about ingrown hair-cyst treatment!

[salsabike]

I get these periodically and have developed a whole routine that seems to work. Every morning and night I swipe that area with a pad and some antiseptic solution. Then I put antibiotic ointment on it. When I have one that's gone as far as yours, I put a bandaid over it for a couple of days to give it some rest from constant rubbing that happens when you walk. That helps a lot.

That's exactly what I am doing, I put a bandaid with some neosporin on it, but it's in such uncomfortable spot that no matter what you wear it still gets irritated

I've never had this problem (knock on wood) but would heat packing the area help ? Would the moist heat help bring it to a head and in turn relieve some of the pressure/pain? Just a suggestion.
