This is a simple procedure, after cleaning the skin local anaesthetic will be injected. A single incision is made, through which the cyst can be shelled out, hopefully whole, without rupturing it. The wound is then sutured, job done!

A: Hello:This is in response to you question posted about sebacious cysts. Cephalexin (keflex) is the drug of choice for most type of skin and skin structure infections, however there is now a lot of resistance to this antibiotic. I usually use Augmentin twice a day for ten days because Staphylococcus aureus (staph infection) is the most common organism to infect the skin and skin structures but it is now resistance to a lot of antibiotics. If your cyst is infected and it is enlarging especially after being put on antibiotics, means one of two things. Either you are on the wrong antibiotic or the cyst needs to be opened up and drained (a procedure called “I&D” short for incision and drainage). The doctor will inject some numbing medicine to the skin then use a scalpel to make a very small incision to all the infection to drain out. The it should be backed with iodoform gauze. You have to keep the gauze in there for a few days because you dont want the skin surface to heal before the inside or the pus can accumulate again. I would return to your doctor and either get your antibiotic switched or depending on how bad it is, get the I&D done. You dont want the infection enlarging and getting into your bloodstream.I hope this helped answer your questions.Regards,Warren B. Shaffer, M.D.
