I had a sebaceous cyst removed off my back 6 days ago and when my wife presses it the same white fluid comes out. It is not infected and im on antibiotics. Should it still have the white fluid in it after being removed? And should I continue to press the fluid out?
Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Well, I'm really sorry to inform you that there must be something wrong with your discharging wound! In my opinion there are two possibilities:1. The sebaceous cyst has net been completely removed 2. Some smaller cyst in the surrounding or early infection in the wounded, a whitish discharge could be contents of a sebaceous cyst / lymphatic cyst or some thin pus! I also suggest you to go for a microbiological/cytological test of the secretion for confirmation and to relieve your concerns! Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
