Abscess or cyst on chest wall
First I had an abscess infected with bacteria on my chest wall about 2 years ago which was treated with antibiotics. The same type of abscess recurred at the same place after 2 year which was treated with incision and drainage. Now after the 3 months of I&D, I am having pain at the place where incision was made. It is a little bit swollen. So I checked with surgeon. He said that I have sebaceous cyst and it needs to be removed surgically. What should I do?

hello.... As with the recurring abscess, there is high chances that u might be having a sebaceous cyst which was incompletely removed and hence the recurrences. The best treatment for that would be to get it excised completely by scooping out. U can consult me online as well with the pic and previous treatment notes.
