Should I see a surgeon to have an infected skin cyst near my breast drained if the antibiotic Augmentin has not improved the pain and redness after five days?

Asked by Female, 20 · 10 days ago

I understand how worrying and uncomfortable this must be. Since the pain and redness haven't improved after five days on Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate), it is indeed a very good idea to have a doctor or surgeon evaluate it. Often, an infected cyst can form a localized pocket of pus that antibiotics alone cannot easily penetrate. Having a healthcare professional safely drain it can provide immediate relief and speed up your healing. Please contact your doctor or visit an urgent care clinic soon so they can examine the area and help you feel much better.
