A member asked:
I had an infected sebaceous cyst on my upper chest drained by the dermatologist four days ago and noticed that although it is much smaller than what it was, there is still a small, hard bump. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Once a cyst is drained, it will firm up from the underlying blood and serum. This will resolve over time.
