HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if it is not the puss contained inside then it is not necessary to do any surgical intervention, if it is the infection then it can be best managed with Tab Cefdinir 300 mg twice in day for five to seven days, take care for good hygiene hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
