Possible but not lik: Sometimes they can be injected to break them up but you may need to have it removed if it uncomfortable.

Probably leave it: If it is pea sized , the best approach will be wait and watch as long as you do not have pain or discomfort.

I have Morton's toe. 4 days ago I noticed a pea sized cyst just under the big toe joint, where my condition puts pressure near the instep on that joint. NSAIDs didn't seem to help, warm comp did. I've read synovial react to NSAID. Is this ganglion?
