mother sorry to here about your ordeal. Pain medication when used legitimately over a short period should not cause dependence but if you don't need to take them don't. If you can deal with the pain with otc meds Advil Tylenol etc; you would be far better. Don't misinterpret my message there are situations where opioid are needed such as mine but it can turn into a bad situation quick. I hope you feel better and I pray for you.

It can take time to heal, and it can be painful.  I'd keep doing the warm/hot face cloths to the area to help heal it.

It takes a bit of time for the swelling  to come down .keep it was clean as you can .Make sure you take all of the antibiotics

Try not to worry. It takes a little while to heal completely because of the location. The
cyst generally does not come back. If you have any further pain or drainage,give the doctor a call.

i went to the doctor and they popped it and it was a relief(thnx god) but they put some packing in it then after a few days took it out..now im sore and it hurts..can that mean that the cyst is coming back? like i can still see the cut and im afraid to do anything because i dont want it to get infected..and the antibiotics i guess are helping like there isnt no more leaking but i dnt kno if its because the hole is healing.like im scared it will come bac..i cant take that pain again..

Doesn't hurt at all when it pops. Just think of it like this it's really just a big pimple that just happens to be on your woo hoo. When it pops the pain will go away.

It is safe to take that small amount of oxycodone as directed, but if it's not helping with the pain don't take them. Try avisg advise and put a hot wash rag on the area make the wash rag warm as you can stand it that will cause the cyst to form a head and it may pop on it's own. As soon as it pops the pain will go away. Plus the antibotics will help some with the swelling and pain and make it for a head and it will probably pop on it's own . Also If you have a sitz bath sit on that with very warm water.

What I did when I had one is that I sterilized a needle and popped the cyst myself. I don't recommend this for you though your very pregnant and probably can't see your feet much less your woo hoo.

If you are taking 20 as directed then you will be fine . Putting a warm wash cloth on the area can help.sometimes they will drain on there own .I have had one and the pain really for me was not that bad buts its in no way  fun but the pain wont last long .good luck take then pills as directed it will be fine.
