In the clinic, the doctor first numbs the skin, then opens and drains each part of the swelling to release the pressure.
Once everything is drained, the cavity is cleaned and packed or covered, and the patient usually feels relief almost immediately.
When the inflammation has settled, any remaining cyst walls can be removed so the problem does not come back.
Regular dressing changes, rest and following the doctor’s advice help the skin close and heal over the following weeks.
Face your fears and you may find the solution was waiting all along. The videos below show large back cysts being treated.
