A member asked:
I am having ganglion cyst. what should i do in order to rid it off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on where the cyst is located. Surgical removal is the definitive treatment but many cysts resolve on their own. It can also be aspirated and/or injected with cortisone by a doctor but that may only give temporary relief. Often, no treatment is needed for such cysts.
