I&D and abscess: The most common treatment for an abscess is I&D which stands for incision and drainage. Most commonly an abscess is a collection of pus that originates from infection but not always ("sterile abscess"). Treating with antibiotics is not always effective because the antibiotics may not penetrate to the center of an abscess. Evacuating the abscess allows the offending agent to be removed and drugs in.

Warm compresses: Apply warm compresses and the contents of the cyst should drain , relieve discomfort and allow the area to heal.
