Suggest Medications To Treat Infected Sebaceous Cyst

Hi. I do suffer from infected sebaceous cyst. Waiting to heal before removing by surgery. Im using bactroban twice a day and cifox 500mg twice a day. After 5 days of treatment infection feel only a bit better and still infected. How long it usually take to treat infected sebaceous cyst? Maybe prescriped drugs are not working to good.

It will take 5-7 days to treat an infected sebaceous cyst. If prescribed drugs are not working than you can chage them after an expert opinion preferably take cefadroxyl or augmentin along with combiflam or ibugesic-plus to reduce inflammation and swelling. You can use neosporin powder or soframycin cream for local application.
