Do i need to go to the doctor to drain an unsightly, painful sebaceous cyst on my neck? it won't pop and i see white pus inside.

Cyst: Always a good plan to seek medical evaluation and possible I&D of infected cyst of neck. Also PO antibiotics are a must. If truly infected than only drainage is possible. Than after healing re excision of the scar and lining of the cyst is needed to prevent recurrence...
