Infected Sebaceous Cyst

Question

Asked for Male, 33 Years

I have developed an infected sebaceous cyst on my thigh. I consulted my family physician and he put me on a course on antibiotics. When it worsened, he drained the puss and put me on another course of antibiotics. It seemed to dry out but it has reoccurred again making the cyst sore, tender and red along with pain. What should i do? Whom should i consult, general physician, dermatologist or surgeon?
