Cysts are skin lesions in the body that resembles that of a saclike structure. They may either contain clear fluid, blood or in severe cases, pus.

While most occurrences of cyst are benign, rare cases can be malignant and can be cancerous. Mild cysts may be manually removed by draining with a needle or by cutting it open. But for safe and clean procedures, surgery may be opted by medical professionals.

The presence of cysts can be anywhere in the body and may affect any skin or organ tissue. Cysts dwelling in the lungs are usually filled with air, while cysts on the kidneys are liquid-filled. Some parasites including tapeworms, trichinosis, and echinococcus, migrate to form cysts in brain tissues, eyes, liver and muscles.

Aside from the oversensitivity of sebaceous glands, Cysts may result from certain abnormalities such as in the pilonidal cyst.

Treatment

There are a number of do’s and don’ts in home treatments of cyst:

Don’ts:

• Do not attempt pick, scratch, or squeeze the bumps. Doing so will infect the deep layers of the skin or may cause severe bleeding.
• Do not isolate the lump and let is be exposed to air as much as possible
• Do not wear tight clothing so as to avoid friction with the lump
• Do not prolong bandages on the lumps unless it has dried up
• Do not ignore other signs and symptoms such as fevers, chills, heat, pain, pressure, and swelling

Do’s:

• Use antibacterial soap whenever you take a bath or when washing parts of the body
• Apply bandage only when the lump is opened and begins to excrete pus
• Change regularly the bandage or when it gets moist or wet. If the bandage gets stuck with an open wound, dip the dressing with warm water to easily remove the attached bandage.
• For painful cysts, apply warm compresses for 20 to 30 minutes a day. The hot compress can help soothe the cyst and increase the blood flow in the affected area. These effects of the warm compresses can speed up the healing process.
