Suggest Treatment For Bumps And Blisters After Cyst Removal

I had a cyst removed on my back it seems like I still have a bump and now my stitches are pink around area and I see what seems to be a pimple or blister... Is this normal? I m going crazy and getting scared. I never had stitches so I m freaking out! The derm told me to keep it covered for two weeks and put Vaseline on it before bandaging it... I m scared that the procedure wasn t done right

Hello,

So after stitching, the area heals up with granulation tissue and it is normal to have a pinkish color area. You can apply some emolient cream over it. there is nothing to worry.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
