Cyst?

Terence · Jul 28, 2009

I believe I may have a cyst on my neck, I have had it for about I say three years im not sure exacly. But it will always go away and come back. And just recently its been back longer than before and im getting tired of it I just want it gone for good. So I was just curious is there a way to get rid of a cyst without going to the doctor? Reason why I ask is because I dont really have anyone to well take me there and such. Also the price im sure will probably be high :/. Is it possible that it could be cancer? because well idk I read around some places and sometimes it turned out to be cancer. Yea it sucks having it im always questioning myself why me why me. So just wondering and well thats it for now thanks for any help.

T, there is no way any of us are qualified to diagnose you over the internet. You have to bite the bullet and take the local bus to see a doctor if you really want to know what's going on... or you could just play the wait and see game and deal with the end results be they what they may.

You really need to go to the doctor. If you're in St. Mary's you can contact the Health Department and the STS can take you to the doctor. As far as money goes it's really a preference. If you want it removed bad enough you'll either pay out of pocket for it or get health insurance. Am I wrong for assuming that you do not have a job? If so, get a job that has health benefits.

Well there you go. Get the military to pay for it. You'll have great insurance now. Kudos to you for joining the military. Which branch?

You will have medical coverage once you enlist... sign the dotted line then you are covered. Thanks for your service... :patriot:

Now get to signing, son, before your head falls off!

Sounds like a sabacous (sp) cyst. They usually appear and then go away. If the cyst is annoying to you the only way to solve the problem is go get it lanced or taken out if needed. If it has a hard core to it then you'll be better off having it taken care of....You can try hot compresses also.

Well I would but see the thing is it got worst to the point where it hurts to move my head so I cant do much of anything unless I bare the pain which is what I've been doing for the past few days. I was thinking army or air force still havent made up my mind which hehe. But yea I would also rather like to have it removed before going in. And rose lol thank you for the awesome picture ahaha. And its back of my neck not front!

I doubt it's cancer if it's growing and shrinking and you think it's a cyst. I assume it feels like a marble of some shape under the skin that you can move a little from side to side. Some cysts hang around for years, and come back in the same area over and over again. Sometimes the only option is to have it surgically removed, cleaned, and packed or stitched depending on the size. There's a lot of good anecdotal information on cysts on the internet that could help you to understand what kind it is, and if it poses that much of a health risk.

It's very minor surgery, all they do is numb the area, slice it open and pop it out. I can't imagine it's terribly expensive.

Hope your zit feels better.

Sounds as if it wants to burst. Try the hot compresses it will bring it to a head so that it will pop...Either way it's gonna hurt.....The longer you wait the worst it will be....

I suggest taking a video of it and competing with the other nasties on YouTube. See how far you can get it to explode.

Haha, seen the Untold Stories of the ER episode where the bodybulider comes in with a giant boil on his ass? Too funny.
