Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Treatment is as follow ,
Incision=Avulsion, local anesthesia is used to remove cyst ,incision is made and avulsed.
If inflammation has occurred than , wall of cyst is defined and remove intact.
If intact cyst is not removed than recurrence is probable.
For shingles ,you have to take antibiotics.
Consult a surgeon and his opinion is the best way to deal.
Good luck.
