Hi,
If the cyst becomes yellow then let it drain completely. Do regular dressing and use oral and topical ointments. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor, he will examine and do surgical expression of the cyst.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
