I had sebaceous cyst excised from rib cage seven weeks ago.  After a couple of weeks, it seemed to be red and inflamed, so I took a course of antibiotics.  Now seven weeks later, the redness is gone, but I feel a burning sensation all around the area. Could this be something other than a cyst?
Hello! Thank you for the query. Most likely the cyst hasn't been removed completely. When the peace of capsule is left, sebaceous cyst starts to regrow. Redness and burning seems to be caused by an infection in the mentioned area. Such infection can be triggered by cyst regrowing. I suggest you to consult your surgeon with this issue. Hope this will help. Regards.
