I have a cyst on my leg that was drained about 10 years ago and is now back larger - is this normal? what should i do ?

Recurrent cyst: Cysts tend to recur unless the entire capsule that surrounds them is surgically removed. See your doc to discuss options. Draining the cyst should give temporary relief.

Possibly surgery: Sometimes draining a cyst will help it to resolve the problem. However, sometimes surgically removing a cyst will allow a better chance at cure. If, that is, this is really a cyst. Certainly have it looked at.
