PCP: The Sebaceous Cyst

Most of Dr. P's patients come for medication and diabetes checks, but once in a while we'll get a few interesting cases. One lady had a huge wart on the back of her head that was shaved off with a razor blade and then bovied. The last case of the morning was a guy with a sebaceous cyst on his back. Dr. P numbed the site, made an incision, and out oozed this white cheesy pus-like substance. They don't call it "cheesy" for nothing; that thing smelled like sour milk. It wasn't so bad that it made me sick though (I was lucky that I was spared the whole BV experience during my OB rotation). And at the end, Dr. P let me stitch the guy up. He only needed three stitches and did one to show me what to do (he did an instrument tie, which I haven't done since Clin Med) but it came back to me pretty quick so I had little to no problems. Dr. P said I did pretty well for a third year =D
