A member asked:
I have a large infected painful cyst on back. am already taking a prescription for it. will it get irritated worse from pressure on it for example sitting in a vehicle with it against a back rest?

Drainage: Most infected cysts or abcesses need to be drained in order to get well. It is common to start antibiotics before doing an incision and drainage but antibiotics seldom work alone. After drainage a bandage can be applied and the pressure from sitting in a car should not be a problem. Hope this helps and you feel better fast.
