Cyst or not?
On my stomach (my abs) right under my skin there's a ball like thing. I researched it and thought it was a cyst. I messed with it and now it's red, actually visible (as to where it wasn't visible before) and is really painful to touch. It's very small, and it isn't opened or anything. Will this go away? If it is a cyst if I leave it alone will the redness go away? Help please!

We are not doctors so we cannot make any type of diagnoses. In order to do so would also require an examination as description alone is not enough to make a diagnoses.
Is it a Cyst, possibly. There are Cysts called fibroid Cyst. A fibroid cyst is a type of common, non-cancerous tumor. I have several that are just under the skin and I can move them around a bit under the skin. When I do the skin may turn red for a bit then goes back to normal.
What is important here is I had my doctor diagnose that these tumors were fibroid cysts. Which is what you need to do. Once you know they are then you just have to watch them for growth. The can grow without turning cancerous. I recently had one on my upper arm start to bother me as it would shrink then grow again. I went to a surgeon and we decided it was time to take it off.
Since I belief you are a female if you want one removed from a place a scar would be seen then a plastic surgeon would be the doctor to see for removal rather than a general surgeon. A plastic surgeon will still leave a scar but one that they have ways to hide.
The operation itself was a blast. I was in and out of the surgery center in an hour. It took them longer to get me set in the OR than the 5 minutes it took the surgeon to cut it out. Honestly it was a waist of the Anesthetic they used to put me out. When they woke me up the cyst was sitting in a jar next to the OR table for me to see as I requested.
Once you have a proper diagnoses that this is a fibroid cyst you can just ignore it. OF course if it bothers you or is in a place it is unsightly it is your prerogative to have it removed at anytime.

I am no doctor, so I don't know if it's a cyst, but I do know from experience that if you don't touch it for a while, the redness will go away.
