Sorry to hear that your guppy has a cyst. I'm not great with identifying things like this, so I'll leave it to one of the more experienced keepers to advise you on this.

Is it a red lump or a red patch? If it is a lump, I don't know what that could be I'm afraid. But a red patch could be from nipping or catching the fin of something - quite easy for fish with long fins.

The best thing to do for it initially is more than usual water changes and keep an eye on it. You are watching for the fin being eroded; white growing on the site; bloody streaks in the fin. If any of those (or anything else) starts to appear, we'll know what to treat it with.
