Medical Treatment

1. Thorough Drainage:
   • Ensure the cyst is completely drained by a qualified healthcare professional. Residual contents can lead to recurrence.
   • The doctor may remove the cyst wall (if it is an abscess or sebaceous cyst) to minimize the chance of it reforming.
2. Antibiotics:
   • A course of antibiotics may be prescribed to eliminate any remaining infection.
3. Steroid Injections:
   • In some cases, steroids can be injected to reduce inflammation and prevent excessive scarring.
4. Excision Surgery (if necessary):
   • For recurring cysts, surgical removal of the cyst and its capsule may be recommended.

Post-Procedure Care

1. Wound Care:
   • Keep the area clean and dry.
   • Apply any prescribed topical antibiotics or dressings to prevent infection.
2. Avoid Picking:
   • Do not touch or squeeze the area, as this can worsen scarring or introduce new bacteria.
3. Sun Protection:
   • Use sunscreen or cover the area to avoid hyperpigmentation and scarring from sun exposure.
4. Hydration and Moisturization:
   • Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to promote healing.
