I got a staph cellulitis infection above my eyebrow last year from something random I touched. It created an abscess that opened up and layers of skin came off. After antibiotics the abcess scabed over and then once the scabed came off I was left with this very noticeable indented scar. I have medium to darker skin (Indian decent), so is laser treatment an possible? Collagen injections/fillers? Or a surgical excision the best option?
I had cellulitis develop on my cheek at the beginning of September. The infection has been gone now for over a month. My dermatologist has me on doxycycline for one month. I still have a red, raised lesion where the infected cyst was. Can this go away on it's own? What are the potential treatments for this?
3 and a half weeks ago, I had an abscess on my chin caused by cellulitis. I took antibiotics and the doctor laced and drained it. The cellulitis is gone and the area is no longer inflamed. I am now left with a hard and painless lump. It is like an acne cyst but it isn't inflamed. It is not large but I still want to minimize it. Should I massage it and/or use silicone sheets? Should I do nothing and let it resolve on its own?
