Suggest Cure For An Infection Caused Post A Cyst Removal
hi I recently had a cyst removed along with the gland that caused it to have hard cheesy mucus, the gynecologist cauterized it and said it might bleed a little, the area is now looking swollen, has some white puss/clear liquid coming out, and the cauterized area was green before my shower and now is black with some green should I be worried? should I go back to the hospital??

There is a high probably that the secondary infection has just set in during the procedure , the second probability being incomplete removal of cyst hence still some ooze .
If you have fever , and the local side becomes swollen , reddish and tender consider infection .
In both probabilities a consultation with your surgeon is justified.
Hopefully I could help .
