Drainage of an infected cyst on the chest

As you may have noticed, Youtube has restricted my videos lately and I'm no longer able to have comments. It is fairly frustrating and I apologize in advance but I'm not sure what I can do about it. At any rate, this case is more in line with what 'traditional' pimple poppers are looking for. This is a cyst that has just started to become infected so you end up getting a certain amount of purulent material but also solid keratin underneath. Since this field is infected, it is not possible to remove the capsule and this will have to heal and then be properly removed in a few months. I packed this overnight to encourage loculations to break down and achieve hemostasis but the following day this way removed and allowed to heal by secondary intention. I also swabbed this after I'd packed the wound. I had meant to do it before I packed the area, but it really won't matter. So long as I've cleaned the area out, the swab will be effective. At any rate, I hope everyone is well.
