[|Human|] I have a cyst at the back of my neck for the last 6 years.  Three months back the same started growing to the size of small lemon and last month thick fluid with foul smell started coming out.  The physician I saw was the opinion that it is an infected sebaceous cyst and drained it out with a needle and advised to take antibiotic for 10 days..  The size of the cyst and pain reduced considerably but if you press the area pus seems to be coming out in little quantity.  Please advise what further treatment in this regard to be followed and should I consult a dermatologist or surgeon for treatment.S V V Krishnan
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for asking Chat Doctor! I understand your concern! Answer: Sebaceous Cyst can be treated by Chat Doctor.  Normally, cysts are removed. This is not because they are dangerous but rather for cosmetic reasons. Without surgical removal, sebaceous cyst usually come back. The best treatment is to ensure complete removal through surgery. You can consult a surgeon. After your cyst is removed, your doctor may give you an antibiotic ointment to prevent infection in the affected area. You should use this until the healing process is complete. You may also be given a scar cream to reduce the appearance of any surgical scars. If you have a complete removal, the cyst will not return to the future. Hope my answer was helpful!
