NONSURGICAL MANAGEMENT

NONSURGICAL MANAGEMENT

Occasionally, patients present with the goal of decreasing cyst inflammation but prefer

to avoid surgical management. In such cases, intralesional and perilesional corticosteroid injection may be helpful, though patients should be warned that this addresses only the underlying inflammation, and that the cyst proper is unlikely to resolve. Similarly, incision and drainage may use for inflamed epidermal cysts when excision would not otherwise be recommended (see Chapter 17). These approaches may be combined with the anti-inflammatory effects of NSAIDs and periodic application of warm compresses to encourage drainage and decrease pain. If infection is also suspected, prescribing an oral antibiotic to rapidly reduce the associated erythema and pain should be considered.
