Massive Cyst In Left Earlobe, Severe Pain And Discomfort While Trying To Burst, Swelling In Bottom Of Ear. Guide

Hi, here's the problem.
I have a massive cyst in my left earlobe, I was wondering what the treatment would be...
I am hesitant of bursting it as I have already tried, and it caused me great pain and discomfort.
It has caused the bottom of my ear to swell to almost 3 times its size, and my GP told me I would have to wait for upto 20 day for an appointment :(

Hi,
You can not wait till your appointment.
You may require one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines as soon as possible, otherwise there is chance of forming an abscess and swelling with more pain.
Consult your local doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
