Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that the infection in the cyst must be a resistant bacteria.
I advise you to go for a culture and sensitivity of the discharge from the cyst and get treatment according to the result of the test.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin, ornidazole till the test results are received.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
