A doctor will first look at the lump and press around it gently to check its size, how deep it sits and whether it is inflamed or infected.
If it is a cyst, the area is numbed with a small injection. The doctor then makes a small opening, drains the contents and removes the sac so the cyst is less likely to return.
Afterwards the area is cleaned and covered with a dressing. Keeping it dry, changing the bandage as advised and watching for redness or fever helps it heal well.
Washing the back regularly, wearing breathable clothes after sweating and never squeezing lumps at home all help lower the chance of new cysts.
