fibrous cyst under third toe

For a few months, I have had a painful lump under the base of my third toe on my right foot.
A local podiatrist diagnosed it as a fibrous cyst (after X-ray and ultrasound imaging), and injected my toe with cortisone, prescribed an oral anti-inflammatory medication and has had me ice it for 20 minutes a day.
After a month, it is no better.
Any suggestions?

    OK for the past 5 MONTHS my right foots big toe has swollen up and oozes out this gross liquidy stuff and blood and I think it might be a cyst but I’m only 12 years old and I’m scared to death of getting a needle in it so is there anyother suggestions besides getting a shot to numb it.
