TMI- Cyst questions

Danielle

If you get queezy easily, please stop reading now.

The last few days I've had a hard spot basically on my leg right next to my lady bits. It was super painful but I thought it may have been an ingrown hair and treated it as such until last night.

I had to go to the ER. It was a large cyst, it was drained and packed. The entire process was the worst pain I've ever felt and the ER doc kinda just walked away after and left me hanging on some questions.

Can I shower with the packing in? Do I need to keep it covered?

How bad does it hurt to have the packing removed?

How long will it take for this to heal?

I appreciate any responses.
