hello
if there is persistent redness and discoloration over site of excision then there is possibility of incomplete excision of cyst. In such case cyst is reformed and might get infected causing redness. so you should consult your doctor again. and you should also collect histopathology report of previous excision to find out what was the nature of specimen
