I have what my doctor says is a cyst, it is bright red, very sore, and about the size of a domino (but rounded).  I have an appointment with an ENT in 4 days, are the going to lance it right in the office, or would they do surgery because of the infection?
Hi! This is very common that a cyst gets infected and becomes sore, painful, red, throbbing etc. etc....! Still it is a non-serious or benign disease, but the treatment is a bit complicated! As per your description, at this stage you need antibiotics before, during and after the surgery and the surgery would be a simple 15 minutes procedure under local anesthesia or general anesthesia as preferred by your surgeon but never done in the office it is always done in an operation theater (O.
