Is this a cyst or something else?

My grandmother had something similar and was just a blocked oil gland. (Tech name:  Sebaceous Cyst ) . It is fairly common, and really poses no threat, just knowing it is there is the main thing.  Her's did grow in size and was removed in her dr.'s office in just a few minutes.  But of course, you should have it checked out just to be on the safe side.

If indeed it is a Cyst, there is absolutely nothing he or you can do.\n\nThere are 3 types of cysts:\n\nLiquid Filled: these are usually on the surface of your skin, face, (Or ACNE). These can be popped, but will leave a scar if you do.\n\nSolid: These are just minor infections and go away after a while. \n\nAir Filled: These are a little more dicey. They often grown on the INSIDE of your body, such as nervous systems, blood streams, etc. They will usually go away from 2 - 8 weeks. However, if this persists, surgery MAY be needed.\n\nCysts aren't the end of the world. They are aggravating, but you won't die from it.\n\nHope this helps.

Without more info, it is impossible to even guess here.  Go to your doctor and get it checked out.

Ask the doctor for more info.  Sounds like a hernia.

It could be a pimple or cyst forming under the skin.  I would wait a couple of days to see if it goes down or goes away and if there is no change, see a doc...

It could possibly be an ovarian cyst, although if you had an ultrasound over your ovaries, it should have shown up.  However, it might have burst, if the pain that shot down your thigh is any indication.  In that case, when you do get into an OBG/YN, request that you have an ovarian ultrasound and/or a laberoscopy.\n\nMost doctors will say that it's impossible to have a cyst for more than a month, tops.  But don't give up.  I had one for six months that went ignored and then a year later I had to have surgery to remove from all of the scar tissue from when it burst.

Stop worrying.  It most likely is a cyst.  Your doctor if your are concerned enough will probably get an ultrasound of the area.  And Friday is okay.  If it is really upsetting up, see the doctor sooner.  I know how it is to have something occupy your mind like this.  We all have a tendency to think the worst but in reality its probably nothing.  If seeing the doctor earlier will reassure you then see the doc earlier.  No need to loose sleep  over it.

Yes, you absolutely have to go to the doctor. They happen all the time. And they are easy for a doctor to remove. It is probably a localized lymph node infection or a dermoid cyst. or maybe it is even a ganglion cyst. But you need to have it removed. \n\nInternet diagnosis isn't reliable. You need to talk to a doctor.

Could be a cyst or a tear in the muscle. Probably a good idea to see an orthopedic doctor.

maybe a cyst.  does it look like a red, swollen pimple?  stick it with a pin and see if pus comes out.  If it does, it's a cyst and you need to see a doctor to get it out.

It most likely is a harmless cyst if it's been there for that long and hasn't caused any problems.  If it's changed shape or size, though, it may be a cause for concern.  Either way, your doctor should be able to tell you what it is and whether you need to worry about it.  Better to be safe than sorry.

I would agree that it's ganglion cyst.  It sounds ridiculous, but I've seen many people use a sizable book to smack it fairly hard and they go away....

It sounds like a ganglion cyst.  Check out this site and see if this is what it looks like.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglion_cyst

It might be a blocked mucous duct. It is probably nothing but if it doesn't go away see someone about it, because it could be something more serious.
