I Have A Sebaceous Or Epidermoid Cyst. My Gp Gave

I have a sebaceous or epidermoid cyst. My Gp gave me mupirocin week ago and made me an apt with a general surgeon for this Friday. He did not give me an antibiotic, probably because I am allergic to penecillin and have had leg cramps with Cipro and Bactriam when I take it with ibuprofen- which helps with the cyst pain. However, the cyst is red, hurts and getting bigger. I want to know if I take Cipro without the ibuprofen would the cipro help reduce the cyst and perhaps the pain ?
