The patient signed the consent form and was taken to the procedure room. Using sterile technique, the posterior neck was prepped, draped and anesthetized with 1% lidocaine. The lesion was lanced resulting in rapid resolution and reduction of pain. Pressure was held on the site with minimal bleeding noted. Betadine ointment was applied, and it was then covered with gauze and secured with tape. A sample of the fluid was sent to the laboratory. The patient will return in 3-5 days for a wound check.
