I have a subcutaneous cyst on my inner upper thigh, I had surgery last March to remove it and it had not come back until about 10-11 months later. Now it s back, red, swollen and turning dark at the top of it. I ve been doing hot compresses, Epsom salt baths, etc but to still hasn t popped. My surgeon can t see me until Tuesday. What should I do?
Hi.it may be a recurrence of your sebaceous cyst. Warm compress and pain relievers may help alleviate the swelling and pain a little but, those are just temporary measures. Definitive management is still surgical excision of the cyst formation. Proper antibiotic treatment will also be given. A follow-up consult with your surgeon is best. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
