I have a 8 and 5 year old. I recently popped what I thought was a cyst that would have pus but instead after a little pus came a harder rubbery or fatty seed. It looked like it had little seeds that were attached to create one big one. When it came out there was a little blood, I cleaned it with witch hazel and put neosporin on a band aide and covered the wound. this happened to my 8 yr old son about 3 months ago. Like I said it was spongy or fatty. Not sure what to do????
Hi, You can use newsprint powder, but it should be used once the pus filled cyst has burst and pus has been squeezed out, it's of no use if skin is intact. Secondly, when using newsprint wound should not be covered with band-aid, it should be left open. If I was treating you I would have also prescribed an antibiotic like augmenting 375 mg three times a day for 3 days. I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health.
