What Providers Look For
A provider checks the size, location, and signs of infection before deciding whether draining in the office is appropriate or whether a referral is needed.
What the Procedure Involves
A minor in-office procedure typically numbs the area first, drains the cyst, and may include a short course of antibiotics if infection is present.
