well chances of getting infection are remote but even if it occurs we have medicine to fight that.so,relax and chill.if you want any prophylactic medicine then you can take tab.amoxycillin 625mg thrice daily for 3-5 days along with sporlac.
the best treatment for ganglion is surgical removal,the result are excellent.
