Hello,
Unfortunately these infected cysts need to be surgically opened and drained and you probably need to be on antibiotics. If the surgeon that opens the cyst can remove the entire cyst then hopefully it will not come back again. If they just drain it, it can reaccumulate. You need to see a surgeon that will take out the entire cyst.
