A member asked:
I have a mucous cyst on my thumb that is deforming my nail, it comes & goes. it's now filled & painful, what's the best treatment?

Cyst under nail: If it is painful ask your doc to remove the nail (under local anesthesia,of course). It will grow back, and the relief will be immediate.
