How To Treat A Cyst Caused Due To Stitches After A Cut?
Hello:
I cut my wrist from a broken coffee cup. At the Urgent Care the doctor gave me five stitches. I went to a surgeon and he said I did not need surgery. Well, about a month later, I had a bump/cyst ?? above the stitches on my wrist. What is this? What can be done other than surgery?
