A member asked:
I have a cyst on top of my head that hurts. doctor mentioned it was infected but didnt seem concerned. how do you treat cysts if infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: some simple cysts will resolve with conservative care: warm soaks, antiinflmmatory meds and topically with triple antibiotic ointment; however, having said that, infected cysts usually require surgical incision and drainage.
