A member asked:
Can i stick a pin in my cyst and drain it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Advisable: Sticking a pin into your cyst could lead to it becoming infected and therefore worse than it may already be. Some cysts have fluid so thick it won't drain through a small pin hole. See you doctor for proper treatment.
