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.
