What Could Hardening Of The Incision Site Post A Cyst Removal Indicate?
I had a cyst removed off my tailbone a couple days ago, and it seemed to firm around the incision and where he cleaned it. This is my second one in the past five years, and I don t remember this happening before. is it something i should be worried about or is it just the fluid sitting until leaking out?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
It can be an infection of the incision.
I suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream.
I also suggest to clean it with hydrogen peroxide and cover it with a clean bandage.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
