Having trouble understanding your concern.

Is the fact that it is close to yours eye your only concern? has the doctor said that a surgery or operation is dangerous or risky? What is the boil exactly?

The only home remedy is usually by use of chemical washing or self lancing (if it is a normal boil). But that is NOT recommended if close to your eyes.

It sounds as if the doctor has given you his best course of action. Again - we need more information as to your question.

I'm sorry there are no known home remedies to do it yourself that will not scar you. To remove a cyst by yourself is dangerous for many reasons, especially near the eye. Only the doctor will be able to do so safely and with the best chance without scarring.

If you don't mind me asking. Why are you resisting what the doctor has in mind and want a do-it-yourself method?

Different treatment from first opinion?
Did not understand what you meant to say --> "if he inject it it will come come??? " Question

It was probably a boil at first - which when new - can be fixed by lancing it with a needle, this would allow it to drain. doctor

However after too long it becomes hard and filled with scar tissue and becomes a cyst whic h has to be treated differently.

The cysts are most common in individuals in their thirties or forties, particularly those who have a history of acne. Men are more likely to be affected than women.

I would suggest consulting a dermatologist, if you haven't already, for treatment, especially if any of the cysts become inflamed or infected. If so, the cyst can be drained or removed or even vaporized with a laser. Never squeeze cysts yourself - the result could be scarring or infection. If cysts on the face need to be removed, I suggest having a cosmetic surgeon do the job to minimize the chance of scarring.

I'm afraid I know of no way to prevent epidermoid cysts from forming.

i can email you where this information came from. it sounds like it seems like a good idea to listen to your doctor, you'll be alright!
