I've had a small cyst on my back for decades. Annoyingly I can't reach it more than to touch it but occasionally if it feels a bit fuller than normal I'll get my husband to squeeze it and some white gunk comes out.
A few days ago I leant against something and realised it was sore. I thought it was maybe fuller than normal again, and it did look swollen, so got my husband to squeeze it and quite a bit came out. But it was extremely sore and I couldn't stand to let him try for too long.
It then seemed to get bigger still, red and felt harder. It hurts if I move around or lean my back on something.
Yesterday I went to the doctor to beg her to lance it! But she says it looks like an infected cyst that hasn't turned into an access and can only be drained if it's an abscess. I can have it removed but not until the infection is gone. So I've got a week's course of antibiotics. I did get my husband to have another squeeze last night but it was very sore and nothing was coming out, which I can't understand as there were marks on my shirt last night so it must be leaking a bit!
Any advice or shall I just leave it for the antibiotics to do their job?
