Epithelial inclusion cyst

For some time now, I've had a epithelial inclusion cyst very near my right eye tear duct. Viks removed it for me this afternoon. I thought it would be a simple tweezer removal but because you can feel pain without being numbed, she had to inject me with some anesthetic and then she used a tweezer and scissor-like apparatus to perform the actual removal while I was lying down on the futon. The injection kind of hurt like a shot but once I was numbed, it was painless. For a few days I still have to apply some erythromycin ointment daily to prevent infection.
