Ingrown hair / cyst - whats the difference?

an ingrown hair is just that...a hair that was lost due to shaving, pulling, falling out, etc that regrows and doesn't pierce through the hole it's intended, causing pain/redness/infection. a cyst is just a fluid filled sac that can fill for numerous reasons from acne to infection.

I believe a cyst is fluid under the skin and an ingrown hair is a hair that grew in wrong and is still under the skin.

Cysts hurt and won't go away. I have one. Cysts are more common in fingers. Cysts, when you touch it, it feels like a hard sack of fluid too. Hope this helps!
