A doctor can drain the cyst safely through a small opening, which relieves the pressure and pain almost immediately.
Once the inflammation has settled, the remaining sac can be removed so the lump does not return in the same spot.
The procedure is quick and done under local anaesthetic, and most people can carry on with their day straight afterwards.
Keeping the area clean and covered for a few days is usually all the aftercare that is needed.
Do not ignore what your body is telling you. The videos below show shoulder and arm cysts being treated by professionals.
