How do i get rid of a cyst at home i got percribed cephalexin but it dosnt seem to be helping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cyst: Home removal of a cyst is not recommended. If infected warm compresses, antibiotics and sometimes incision and drainage are needed. Popping them by ones self usually leads to more infection. Surgical removal when not infected usually is curative.
