A doctor will examine the lump to check its size, how deep it sits and whether it is infected.
Professionals usually numb the skin, open the cyst, drain it and remove the sac so it is less likely to come back.
The area is then cleaned and dressed, and keeping it covered for a few days helps it heal without trouble.
Avoiding tight straps over the spot, keeping the skin clean and not squeezing lumps at home all help prevent new cysts.
Believe in yourself and get it checked when something changes. The videos below show cysts being treated by professionals.
