Sebaceous Cyst Removal and Recovery

[Greisty]

Hi all, here's a "juicy" one. (Sorry, couldn't help myself). I had a sebaceous cyst removed from my undercarriage 10 days ago. The surgeon saw the wound yesterday and is pleased with the way it's healing. She plans to remove the sutures in three or four days. She has also advised me that it will be ok to start riding at that time. I am concerned that this will be too soon, as the last thing I want is for the wound to reopen. Has anyone gone through this procedure, and would you be willing to share your experience? I recognize that the healing process is different for everyone, but any guidance you can share would be very helpful. Thank you!
