Do you know what kind of cyst it was? If it was a sebaceous cyst and part of it is still there the cyst can regrow. A sebaceous cyst has sebum inside of it; that's kind of like a skin oil.

Did they give you instructions on wound care like use hydrogen peroxide or alcohol to clean the wound?
Yes, it was a sebaceous cyst. He made a small cut, about 3mm long. It didn't even need stitches. He said that I just need to keep it clean and it should heal in no time.

It hasn't healed and hurts, along with the nastiness coming out of it.

I guess I need to see him on Monday.

Thank you for the info. I didn't realize it could regrow. Hmmmm
