<human>: I don t have insurance and I have a cyst on my upper thigh by bikini line. I know somebody who has metronidazole 500 mg - 28 tabs. I ve been doing heat compresses and Epsom salt baths and it s opened up. I m making sure I keep it covered and cleaned several times a day. Can this medicine help to get rid of all infection?
<bot>: Hi.noted history of cyst on upper thigh near bikini area. It may be folliculitis (usually occurs after shaving or when hair is accidentally pulled-out) or a cystic formation (sebaceous or gelatinous) which may become infected. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
