Drunken man has cyst bursted with scalpel

Good decision to get drunk beforehand..! Don't watch if easily grossed out.

Probably discovered just how much of it there is in there.. it's not just fluid, I think - it looked like a clump under the skin with bits being broken off with the pressure applied.. so it's more viscous and cheese-like than they might have originally thought, when it was coupled with the blood and pus.

Well, points for her eventual success. She should have worked her way from the far periphery of the abcess to the center to begin with. I am sure he is left with something his immune system took out in the end. If you ever need to do this, you can start by filling a small cup up with the super cold liquid from a canned air can and using that as a surface anesthetic.

This is Keratin - a semi-solid material consisting principally of sebum and dead skin cells.
They mention how badly it smells which suggests to me that it is probably infected, but given it's size I agree with deathcow that his immune system will handle this fine.

Probably, but it's also possible that the cyst lining remained (having only removed the "gunk" that the cyst produces) and it would eventually fill up again, especially if it's actually a "cyst" and not just an abscess.
Even if it were an abscess (the diagnosis of which is supported by the apparent odor), it could still recur if nothing was left in the incision to allow it to drain.
