Hello,
Here is my advice to ease any pain, soak in a tub of warm water. Sometimes, your
cyst may open and drain on its own this way. Take nonprescription pain medicine such as
paracetamol.
Keep the cyst and area around it clean and dry. Another method is marsupialization: In this procedure, your doctor makes a cut and drains the cyst, removing pus and any hair that are inside.
He’ll sew the edges of the cut to the wound edges to make a pouch. This is outpatient surgery under local anaesthesia.
It also lets the doctor make a smaller, shallower cut so that you don’t need to take out and repack gauze daily. Try to keep the area clean always.
Check for any signs of a new infection, such as
redness, pus, or pain. Keep your follow-up appointments with your doctor so he can see how your cyst is healing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Suzana Zharri, General & Family Physician
