Question 2

i have a cyst that keeps coming back at least once a month. is there a way to prevent this? its always in the same spot.

Accepted Answer

You : You should definitely see your doctor or a dermatologist for this recurrent problem.  Non-healing lesions should always be looked at to make sure it is not a more serious problem such as cancer.  That being said, it depends on where the cysts are, what organs they are in, how large, and what they look like in order to know how to treat them effectively.  Often, recurrent skin cysts will need to be cut out in order to prevent them from coming back.  See your doctor to discuss treatment options.
