A member asked:

I have a large ganglion cyst on large toe, previous surgery to toe, ceilectomy? was performed, now appears to have bunion also, what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can try : Having it drained by a doctor the cyst) they do have a propensity to come back as they usually arise from a tendon sheath or the joint and open surgery may be necessary. With regards to a bunion, that would depend on if you have pain to decide what to do with it..,,
