Hi All
Just looking for a little advice...
I've had an empidermoid cyst on my chest for donkeys years... However, last weekend, overnight it doubled in size and became quite painful! By the Monday there was also some redness, went to the docs, she said she thought it was infected so put me on antibiotics for 5 days. Friday was my last day of antibitotics, no improvement, if anything it had got worse, so back to the doctors for more antibiotics and referral for removal! Doesn't seem to be improving much.
I have chosen to go private for my appointment with my dermatologist as I will get seen much quicker. So much so, my appointment is this Thursday
I have been to see about getting it removed before and was told no, as the chest is prone to bad scarring! However, this time it looks like it will be removed!
My question is... How can I help the scar heal well?
How early can I use bio oil after the op?
Many thanks
