Infected cyst
I've had a sebaceous cyst for 10yrs and now it is infected. It drained a little bit bit not anymore and is very red and extremely painful. It's near my left breast. A dermatologist prescribed augmentin which I have already taken for 5 days but see no difference in pain and redness. Should I consult a surgeon and get it drained??
