A member asked:
Will an infected sebacious cyst go away on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: If it is infected, it will most likely require antibiotics. Some infected cysts, become abscesses and need to be incised and drained (with possible packing of sterile material) for definitive treatment. Best wishes.
