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
