A cyst is like a hard lump under the skin that doesn't come to a head, it's still a type of spot though and it's nothing to worry about. I get cystic acne on my chin and they can take months to go away, it's a pain! I use a tea tree face wash and spot stick from the body shop, which seem to help me.
