Hello

I have studied your case

Your infection has subsided now.

You can excise cyst consulting your doctor, you may need pre operative investigation like ultrasonography.
You can get weakness due to infection and nerve involvement around cyst..
So improve your diet take vitamin supplement.
If required later on you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery.


Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
