I have always had a cyst on the inside of my elbow. The last 3 days,,it s been swollen and painful. It looks red and blue with a white dot at the top, like a huge pimple about to burst. Will it go away on its own or do I need to see a doctor? Thanks and best

Hi,

Presence of pain, redness and pus point on the top indicates that it had undergone secondary infection that progressed to abscess formation. As this need drainage of the pus followed by antibiotics analgesics, kindly see your doctor.

Meanwhile you can take paracetamol / ibuprofen for pain relief.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
