Suggest Treatment For Cyst In Thigh
I don t have insurance and I have a cyst on my upper thigh by bikini line. I know somebody who has metronidazole 500 mg - 28 tabs. I ve been doing heat compresses and Epsom salt baths and it s opened up. I m making sure I keep it covered and cleaned several times a day. Can this medicine help to get rid of all infection?

hi.
noted history of cyst on upper thigh near bikini area. it may be folliculitis (usually occurs after shaving or when hair is accidentally pulled-out) or a cystic formation (sebaceous or keratinous) which may become infected. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
