Recently was given antibiotics for an infected sebaceous cyst, and an incision was made to drain it. that was two weeks ago, and there is still pus?

Cyst: Clean with 3% peroxide 2-3 times a day. Get bactroban antibiotic ointment, apply twice a day. Apply hot moss compresses. let calm down for three months and get excised.
