A member asked:
Can you moisturizer on cyst incision if still infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Would not recommend: Wait till the infection has healed and the incision has healed before using moisturizers. Using it now while the incision is till open may intruduce another infection and delay healing. Get well.
