Only if infected: you should talk to a surgeon about excision of pilonidal cysts. It's best done when there is no infection.

Had a cyst on my bottom. MRSA. Doc gave me doxycycline for 10 days. Cyst drained & doesn't hurt. Finished meds. Is it out of my system? Do I go back?

Infected cyst just under eyebrow. Prescribed doxycycline hyclate and mupirocin. How quick will these two meds reduce cyst size. Will I still have to get this drained. Or will meds remove cyst. Not sure why derm didn't go ahead and drain. ?
