I have an infected sebaceous cyst on back. finished 10 days clindamycine 4/day. smaller but now hurts a lot again. surgery in 1 month. what to do now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cyst: Renew the rx for clindamycin. Cyst removal will be easier, less bloody, less likely to get post-op infection, and be successful if you let it calm down.
