What are cysts?

if you go to a dermatologist they will remove it for you if it actually is a cyst its quite painless, one or two stitches.
Reply:A cyst is a pocket of liquid. You probably have damaged the skin %26amp; made a scar.
Reply:A cyst is a closed sac having a distinct membrane and developing abnormally in a cavity or structure of the body. Cysts may occur as a result of a developmental error in the embryo during pregnancy or they may be caused by infections. However, sometimes they arise spontaneously with no apparent cause. Cysts are often dangerous as they may have negative effects (for instance, compression) on the nearby tissue. They may contain air, fluids, or semi-solid material. A collection of pus is called an abscess, not a cyst.





A cyst may also be a sack that encloses an organism during a dormant period, such as in the case of certain parasites. This type of cyst may, for instance, protect a parasite from the churning acid of the stomach so it may pass through to the intestines unharmed where it can then break out.
Reply:I've had cysts and even have one on my back that goes in when I try to pop it too. I'd go to the doctor and see if he recommmends having it removed. They're usually non-cancerous, too.
