Approximately 4 years ago there was a sebaceous cyst inferior to my right earlobe. It was most painful while using the phone. I booked an appointment to see my surgeon and had it excised. Several months later an abscess developed. Over the last 4 years I have had it excised and sutured as well as left open in an attempt to prevent recurrence. This has been unsuccessful. Today (Jan 12) I had the surgeon open it to drain the abscess. I have a follow up appointment scheduled for possible excision, so be sure to check back for more video footage!
