Does amoxicillin with clavulanic acid cure sabaceous cyst behind ear ? iv been prescribed by my doc . clavam 625 twice a day for 3 days.

Maybe: The antibiotic will only be effective if there is infection. Cysts are usually drained and antibiotics are reserved for a subsequent infection, should one develop.
