So you think it is a .............. You called it abscess so I assume you are Dx'ing an infected tooth?
I am not picking on you Cric.. I have retyped my post over and over trying to make it sound non-aggressive, it doesn't seem to read that way though...SO read the following in a " this is just for your information and a thought process for the future" kind of way.
As to your incision Tx without giving your Dx first .... What if it is a hemangioma and you just started potentially life threatening bleeding with your incision? Or is that not likely in this cyst and therefore been ruled out? If you already ruled it out, then I apologize...if you give me the reason WHY you ruled it out.
YOur treatment is valid for some possibles... what Dx(s) would that be a good treatment for?
