worried about my pooch

Ok so i rescued a Flat coat retriver mix 2 yrs ago, on our first visit to the vet, we dicovered 2 small lumps on the back of his neck, Vet said we were looking at ingrown hairs and no need to worry, 1 yr later the small little lump grew bigger over night (size of golf ball) we rushed to the vet, and treated with antibiotics, my dog had surgery right away and had 3 cyst removed, vet said they were infected follicles, one of them had grown so deep close to my dog's spine. 3 weks post op part of the incision is still oozing, vet thinks there is more infection in there and wants to do more surgery. :(
has any one had this type of problem before?? I am so worried, my dog does not look uncomfortable or in pain, i have been changing his bandage daily, oozing is clear, odorless, vet did not prescribe more antibiotics, and said we don't need them.

I have had experience with a dog developing cycst - one from an innoculation. the same dog also developed two absesses from bug bites and a different vet used drains to keep the abcersses from devekloping into cycts. if you don't trust your vet you probably need a new one.
We rescued a flat coat that had was prone to growths. Our vet would remove and they sometimes a few would grow back. After a certain age this stopped (I think he was about 4). Our always healed very well so I have no suggestions but wish you guys a speedy recovery.
