Had Cyst Ruptured On Face And Drained. Had Taken Medication For Infection. What To Do Next?
Hi dr. I have a cyst on my face that iv had very many years that has ruptured tonight but I made the mistake of draining it before I knew it was not wise to do so my doctor gave me medication for infection last month because we were about to move cross country and I took the first pill now that it has ruptured however I cleaned the area after it ruptured and put a bandaid on it I just wanted to know if I should keep the bandage on it until I get in to see my doctor or if I should leave it open
Hi after the cyst is drained it should not be bandaged it should be left open.use broad spectrum oral antibiotic and apply supirocin ointment over the lesions
