How To Treat Ganglion Cyst On Waist That Is Infected?
I was told i have a ganglion cyst on my waist that is infected. I was told to see a hand surgeon because it needs to be cut out. I am having a hard time finding a hand surgeon in my area that takes my insurance. Can a general surgeon deal with this sort of issue?
