Leaking sebaceous cyst for 4 months. pain is increasing after clyndamacin along w/ sharp pains near site. surgery not for another month. what do i do?

Have cyst checked: These cysts are often painless but if you are having tenderness this may be infected. I would suggest applying warm compresses to the site of the cyst and get evaluated by the surgeon or your primary doctor if there is no improvement over next day.
