This month started with a piece of good news. After a series of consultations with Dr. Ganesh Ramalingam of G & L Surgical Clinic, I ended up not needing any surgery at all. So what happened was, I had a sebaceous cyst episode that possibly required a surgery to remove. In all there were two lumps altogether that got inflamed and they were quite painful. Dr. Ganesh suggested that I should undergo an antibiotics course first, so he prescribed me two weeks worth of amoxicillin at 2 grams daily. After 3 days, the inflammation was much better already, and by the 5th day the inflammation was gone though the lumps were still around. On the 2nd check-up which was a week after I first saw him, Dr. Ganesh suggested to extend the treatment by 1 more week. At the end of 2 full weeks, he mentioned that only scar tissues remaining and no surgery was needed. At first I was a bit doubtful, but true enough, by now the lumps were totally gone. I'm just totally relieved and grateful that I didn't have to go under the knife. I'm really thankful to Dr. Ganesh.
