A member asked:

I had a small cyst on leg for 15 yrs. turned into abscess and after taking ab, it got mostly better. the incision hole has not sealed. thoughts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor: There may be residual portions of cyst or scar tissue, you may have a chronic low grade infection with a fistula forming, and the risk of not treating is that it can involve surrounding tissue progressively. A dermatologist would be a good place to start if your pcp does not know what to do.
