Epidermal inclusive cyst increasing
I have an Epidermal inclusive cyst which is increasing from the last few days. Two images share one is a 2 day old pic and the other one click right now. I have pain and swelling too but earlier it wasn't. In March last week, I did an FNAC test as per the doctor's recommendation. What to do, pls suggest (once I already did go thru the surgery procedure in 2017 and it came out again after one or two years).
