[|Human|] Hi, I am a medical student. I was working on anesthetizing a sebaceous cyst, and the lidocaine injected into the cyst squirted out of the cyst back thru the injection site and splashed a few drops on my face and lip (my mouth was closed). I dont think it got into my eyes. Should I be worried about the risk of infection, including STDs and HIV?
[|AI|]  Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, sebaceous cyst is the cyst which is having the collection of the material which is occasionally infected with the bacteria only. So when you are injecting the anesthetic agent and accidentally expose the material in to the face and lip it only put you on the slight risk of the bacterial infection. So don't worry about the risk of the viral infection. It can only infect you when the infected blood exposed to you on the eye and mucosa. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
