I had an infected sebaceous cyst treated approximately two months ago.  After two rounds of antibiotics, the incision finally healed.  However, the cyst has now returned, it is painful and it does have some drainage.  I had a refill left on the antibiotic (Z pack) so I started that yesterday.  A dermatologist originally treated the infection, however, I have now moved out of state and am unable to return to that physician.  Should I seek further treatment with a dermatologist or should I seek treatment with a general surgeon since it does not appear that the cyst was removed, only drained and treated for the infection.  Thank you for your assistance.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It may be best to visit a general surgeon who may be able to remove the cyst for you. If you do not know of one, you can either contact your local hospital or use web pages such as WebMD physician directory, healthgrades.com, zocdoc.com. They provide information of doctors in different specialities according to their location. I hope this helps
