A doctor will examine the lump, check its size and how deep it sits, and look for signs of infection around it.
The area is numbed, a small opening is made and the contents are drained, and the sac is removed so the cyst does not keep coming back.
Afterwards the wound is covered with gauze, kept clean and dry, and the dressing is changed until it heals.
Showering after exercise, using a long-handled brush on the back and not squeezing lumps at home all help prevent new cysts.
Stay hopeful and take care of it early. The videos below show cysts on the back being treated by professionals.
