Asked By:phosphorous in Montreal, QC

It has been about 3 weeks post-op and I developed these cysts above my crease.. The doctor used dissolvable stitches and occasionally, pressing down on the cyst will produce pus that comes out from a section on the crease. I am unable to see mt surgeon for a while since he is in a different city and also om vacation. What should I do? Would the local clinic prescribe antibiotics if I went for a walk-in visit? I am very worried...
