Healing a cyst pimple on my forehead?

Question

I have had acne for several years, and VERY VERY VERY RARELY do I ever get a cyst. I have been taking Minocycline for pimples and oil control for many years and it has been a tremendous help--I usually only have a few small forehead pimples and blackheads on my nose.

I have a really bad cold right now, and yesterday this giant cyst appeared on my forehead a few hours after waking up. It is not a bug bite; I hadn't been outside at all the night before due to my illness.

Ofcourse I popped it...I just can't help it, I am addicted to popping zits. Just clear liquid came out of it with a slight whitish tint to it; there was no actual whitehead/pus coming out. This morning: it has gone down a ton in size but it is still red and painful

Is the cause of this cyst my cold?? I really need suggestions for healing this thing as quick as possible. Thank you!!
