Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. With the description you have provided I would recommend having her see n by your veterinarian to have testing done such as blood work to see why she is lethargic and vomiting. The skin condition would likely not cause the vomiting. Your vet may recommend a course of an oral antibiotic and topical therapy for the skin condition. I would also have the cysts tested to see what they are. Your vet can insert a small needle into the cysts and see what the cells are under a microscope to help determine what they could be. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.
