A member asked:
Is it good to have a cyst removed from back your surgically if antibiotics fail or is it better to just leave it alone? the cyst is not infected approximately 2cm wide

Cyst: That depends. Cysts don't always need to be removed. It it doesn't bother you, you can leave it alone and monitor it. However, if you develop recurrent infections or pain - those would be reasons to have it excised.
