My brother had the same problem when he was 10, also my sister when she was 3 years old, that happen in Guatemala, and in the 80's.  I think after 20 years the technology have most knowledge, but even at that time and in a country with bad medical resources in that time, my sister and brother did really good.  My sister now is mother of 3, my brother unfortunately past away but was in a fire (he was firefighter and he die in a call trying to rescue 2 kids, nothing related with the cyst).  Just relax, there is some medicine to treat her and there is not surgery needed.

This happened to me once, only it was a bigger lump than your average pimple, and I didn't squeeze it like you did. I asked my doctor about it and she said it was more than likely a cyst caused by an ingrown hair due to irritation of the hair follicle caused by either too much shaving or shaving with a product that irritated my skin. She said that it would go away on its own (and suggested I not shave on that side for a few weeks to limit the irritation, which I heeded because I really wanted it to go away) and within about a month, it was all gone! If it seems like it's just a pimple then it probably is one, but if it's bigger than that it never hurts to check with a doctor!

See a doctor right away and get the relevants done. If the headache is persistent then probably it is an indication that it should not be taken lightly.

genetics, environmental, bad luck.... pick one, their interchangeable sadly.  Only testing and the KIND of Cyst that it is and what its made from can tell you much more.  Sometimes they can tell you everything.  So be sure and find out.  Is it Fibrous or made from other kinds of material.  SEE A DR.  But whatever, its not her fault and I hope she's well in no time, good luck!!!!

It appears that you have a cranial tumor.  The phrase "the mass" is the clue for the layperson.  Ask you doctor right away and/or call the physician that wrote the report.  Get answers as to the diagnosis and treatment alternatives.  Most cranial tumors are astrocytoma but there are a few that are benign.  All tumors of this area need treatment.  Radiation is usually the modality that can help shrink the lesion, benign or malignant.  Good luck

Don't panick or feel terrible over this. I don't know about your problem, but I have heard of this before. From what I understand, it's not dangerous, but you might want a doctor to take a look at it. Really, this is the only way that your mind will be put at ease. I wish you the best.

It may be a bartholin cyst, which is a harmless build up of fluid caused by a blockage. If it becomes painful and heaps bigger in a short amount of time, it might be infected so go to the doctor's straight away. If it doesn't do anything, you can leave it or go get it drained (ew, I know).\nIt might also be a trapped hair , causing a bump around it?\nGood luck mate.

Sounds like you have some research to do.  This might sound like a dumb question, but are you seeing a specialist?  Maybe you need to see a surgeon who has more experience with this condition?  Here are some sites.  Check them out....\nTreatment may include:\n\nantibiotic medication (to treat the infection)\n\nsurgical removal of the cyst and the thyroglossal duct, called the Sistrunk procedure \nA thyroglossal duct cyst has a small chance of regrowing if small portions of the tissues remain after surgery. Infection of the cyst prior to surgery can make the removal more difficult and increase the chance for regrowth. Always consult your child's physician for more information.  http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/uvahealth/peds_ent/thyrgduct.cfm\n\nhttp://www.healthcentral.com/encyclopedia/408/685.html\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroglossal_cyst\nhttp://www.dental.mu.edu/oralpath/lesions/thyroglossal/thyroglossal.htm\nhttp://www.ghorayeb.com/Thyroglossal.html\nGood luck to you.....

are you sure???? There are many cases where the cyst takes on a different life form. It may form eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and hair just exactly like your head was. Are you certain that your head isn't gone and your really left with the cyst? Better take a closer look, see if people starting looking at you kinda weird. Don't be afraid to ask people if your head looks more like a cyst than your head, if they can't tell the difference then I guess it doesn't really matter as long as it functions properly.

A cyst on the scalp would be considered an out-patient surgery in the office I work in.  The doctor I work for charges $150, and by law anything removed from a human body has to go to the pathologist.  There is a separate charge from the pathologist of $100.  So the least you would be charged is $250 and it can go up from there depending on the pathology results.  (Sometimes the pathologist can't decide on a diagnosis and sends it for a second opinion)\nYou might want to have a talk with the dermatologist and tell him/her that you don't have insurance.  Sometimes they will give you a reduced price.

It could be many things, some very serious and some not serious at all. Unfortunately, one very worrisome possibility is cancer. It is *very* important for your friend to get the CT scan and follow up with his or her physician as necessary. Hopefully the nodule will turn out to be a benign cyst or other inconsequential finding. \n\nYour friend should not hesitate to talk with his or her physician if there are any questions. Only a real, live doctor can give appropriate medical advice. Sometimes it's helpful to write down some questions on paper before you call your doctor. The internet is a great place to read about various diseases and treatments, but at this stage your friend really should be speaking with a physician.

A cyst is a fluid-filled sac that can occur in many parts of the body.  Because the brain is completely surrounded by fluid, a cyst can occur in many places.  The consequences of having a cyst on the brain depends on where the cyst is located, and how big it is.  \n\nThe most common type of cyst is an arachnoid cyst, or intracranial cyst, which occurs when fluid gets trapped in one of the membranes that protect the brain.\n\nTreatment depends on how the cyst affects a person.  Most go undetected and untreated, and people live a normal life without any problems.  If the cyst is too large, or forms in a problematic area, an individual can suffer from loss of function in the brain area that lies beneath the cyst.In that case, the cyst may be removed or drained, and the person will usually recover without any problems.  It is rare that a cyst will damage the nerve cells or the blood vessels that lie beneath it, so if a cyst is discovered, but the perosn does not have any problems, a physician may decide it is better to just leave it alone.

Cysts definitely need to be removed by medical professionals.  Even if it doesn't get infected, it not deal with properly it could scar badly and come back again.\n\nGo and see professional.

I had a CAT scan about 5 years ago that showed and arachnoid cyst. The doctor wasn't concerned about it and it never caused me any problems. Heck.....I forgot about it until I saw your question.

Please let me put your mind at rest.Testicular cysts are called epidydymal cysts and they are benign .They are nothing to worry about.If they are causing you too much discomfort then they can be surgically removed during an outpatient procedure.However there is no guarantee that they will not grow again.\nThere are many men who have similar problems and I suggest that if you need reassurance then look up the following on the internet.
