What Is The Treatment Followed After Removing A Cyst Between Fingers?

Hello,

My husband had a golfball size cyst removed from the web between his thumb and forefinger 2 weeks ago. They chose to leave it open to heal with drainage gauze in, to be removed an inch a day. This partially healed 1/4" hole is still draining pus. It has gone from yellow to white. Is this normal?

Thanks for contacting HCM

I understand that you husband had a cyst removed and they left it open with a gauze packing into the area. It has been healing and now only 1/4" with white discharge. This is the normal healing process and the white discharge is normal. I can reassure you that all is going as planned and both of you have nothing to worry about
