Question 1

really bad cystic pimple on the side of my nose. how can i get rid of it without getting a scar?

Accepted Answer

Don't squeeze it!: Squeezing simply spreads the bacteria within the cyst to surrounding inflamed tissues, increasing the risk of scarring. If you can't see a qualified esthetician, skin care specialist, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon, you could use a rubbing alcohol prep, and a sterilized needle to puncture the cyst to drain the contents. You're right, that's a job for a professional!

Question 2

i have a cystic pimple on the side of my nose i don't know how to get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Pimple on nose: Do not squeeze it (can drive bacteria inward)
apply warm compresses to bring to head & let open & drain naturally. Can also apply acne med like benzoyl peroxide &/or topical antibiotic. If large & have other pimples, see pcp/dermatologist for more extensive treatment to help prevent acne scars.

Accepted Answer

Cysts : Cysts are simply sacs of tissue filled with a substance that makes them expand. There are many types of cysts in the body, but the most common in the area you are talking about is a sebaceous cyst. Most are benign problems but some can cause damage to surrounding structure and some, even more rare, can be neoplasms. Cysts typically cannot be treated at home. Definitive treatment of a cyst requires complete removal of the tissue and, in cases where the growth is more aggressive, some surrounding normal tissue is removed to prevent a recurrence. For these reasons you seek care from a surgeon for evaluation, removal and biopsy.

Question 6

possible cystic lesions on head of pancreas vs dilated distal common dt. if it is gallstone, will i need surgery to get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Complicated: You are jumping ahead of known information. Do you know if you even have gallstones? Dilated common bile duct & pancreatic cystic lesion are both very different processes. Need much more detailed information before possible treatments are considered. See a good gastroenterologist, may need ERCP or MRI scan.

Question 7

i have cists  on my head. how do i get rid of them? would massaging my head help to break them up.over the years i keep getting more i have 6 now

Accepted Answer

Prob sebac cysts: It sounds like from your description that these are sebac cysts, also referred to as "wens".
You will need to see your DR about treatment--usually this is removal if they are wens.

Question 8

i have a 18 cm ovarian cyst inside my left ovary, would i have to take out my ovary in order to get rid of the cyst?

Accepted Answer

: Not necessarily. It would depend on the relation of the cyst to the ovary and the nature of the cyst. You should discuss the issue with your doctor who knows more about your health and the studies that may have been done about the cyst.
Wish you good health!

Question 9

i have two cyst on my ovaries which causes severe pain. how do i get rid of the cyst and stop the pains? im taking ponstan forte 500mg

Accepted Answer

Decreasing: carbohydrates can help prevent new cysts,  current cysts might respond to hormonal treatment, but would likely require surgery to remove the cysts if remain persistent and/or painful.

Question 10

i have a upper back cyst that keeps coming back it was cultured and has 3 different bacteria.... i've had several surgeries to get rid of the cyst

Accepted Answer

Get it removed: Once infection is under control get it removed , most likely you have incision and drainage (i;d)  due to infection not complete removal. Speak to your surgeon , once completely removed will not come back. Check your blood sugar.
