Any way to reduce a cyst before it gets larger?

I've noticed one of my 4 piggies has a wee cyst developing in the flappy bit of her neck. I've had another pig have the same conditon and we had it drained at vets when it got a bit too big. Is there any way of reducing the one developing in Judy's neck before it gets any worse, or will I just have to see it though until vet is needed?
 
If you have a cavy savvy vet they may be better able to remove the capsule completely while it is still small preventing it from becoming a bigger problem.

I would always recommend getting any lumps checked out by a vet before they get too large. There is also the possibility that it's not a cyst and it could equally likely be an abscess.
