Does a cyst near incision really need to be repacked multiple times? (Photos)

December 2, 2018
Asked By:Kris93 in Toronto, ON

I had BA in Oct. After stitches taken out (painful one side) my husband noticed a bump. In the last few days the bump above my incision became painful. My PS’s nurse advised to have it drained and go on antibiotics. Doc at hospital did a small incision and then packed it. He informed me I will need it changed and repacked multiple times. Dont have health insurance and don’t do well with pain so is this really necessary to keep having it repacked since I’m on antibiotics
