My Son Had A Cebaseus (sp) Cyst On His Back
Question: My son had a cebaseus (sp) cyst on his back that has burst and Iwould like to know the best way to treat it. I've squeezed it and got out the Pus - put peroxide in and around the hole and then put triple antibiotic cream on the band aid and covered it up. But, I'm worried that it can't try out and form a scab with what I am doing. Help!
Brief Answer:
Can you post a picture here...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Sebaceous cyst is known to recur unless the scan with the cyst is removed. I understand you have squeezed out all the contents from the cyst, but it is wise to see a surgeon and get the sac removed.
If you aren't prepared to see a doctor right away, send me a picture of the affected area. It will help me to know if anything else at home can be tried; though I will recommend you seeing a doctor.
