Under the skin cists?

This year I have developed 2 cists, one in my thigh and one in my lower back. The one in my lower back became infected and swelled to the size of a marble, which made this huge red irritated, sore, itchy spot on my back. I had to take medication for it but it was still awful. Does anyone know how to deal with a cist that gets infected? can this be dangerous?

You should see a doctor. Many doctors mis-diagnose hidradenitis suppurative, but you should ask about it.
Reply:once you get them, you are prone to keep getting them, it sucks. ive had 3 so far, and have a huge scar on my shoulder where i had to have it drained (gross). I had one on my tailbone that got infected and they just gave me medication for it as well, you really cant do much. i dont think its dangerous, just painful.
Reply:there are many codition that causes cysts.


you better see a doctor my dear


t could be lipoma or anything else.
Reply:Your Doctor is the best one to answer that question. Most usually a doc will lance (drain) a cyst. It could also be a boil. Do not attempt to pop it yourself as that will make it worse and can cause infection. Go back to the Doctor.
Reply:I have had a few. The ONLY way to deal with it is to have it surgically removed.
