General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

The two years duration of your cyst points to the possible fact that this was a benign cyst, which has ruptured either due to chronic pressure over it , or due to infection forming an abscess. Instead of suggesting you any thing else on line, if I were your treating doctor, I would have referred you to a general surgeon, who could examine you clinically, and decide on further course of action.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
