First cyst and not sure what to do

I've recently developed a cyst for the first time and don't know what to do. It's about the size of a grape but I live in a shared flat with no bath so I can only really do one sitz bath a day. I've been applying witch hazel, doing the one sitz bath a day, and taking one silica supplement a day with little to no change after a week but it also doesn't hurt at all. Will it go eventually if I carry on like this? Is there anything else I can be doing? I don't want to risk taking too much horsetail and also don't feel ready to go to the doctors since its not bothering me other than affecting my confidence.
