A member asked:
If u have a skin cyst is it ok to put warm compresses on it? any other home remedy anyone have to get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CYSTS: Skin cysts are benign growths and unless these are disfiguring and too large, can be left alone.Warm compresses do not help unless it gets infected. The only way you can get rid of these is by surgical excision.
