Suggest Treatment For Infected Sebaceous Cyst
Question: how to treat sebaceous cyst which is infected and i am diabetic which is not in control.
Brief Answer:
Antibiotics and removal.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
Infected sebaceous cyst is first of all treated by oral antibiotics like Augmentin (Amoxycillin and Clavulinic Acid). Once the infection subsides , any of the following method is used to treat it:
1. Incision and removal of the cyst.
2. Intralesional Steroid injections.
For infection to get under control and to yet it removed , you need to get your blood sugar under proper control.
See , your treating physician for blood sugar control.
I hope it helps.
If you have any further query please ask me.
