Treatment for cysts can be simple or aggressive, depending on what type of cyst is involved, its location, and the any discomfort it might be causing.
Regardless of where it is, however, there's usually one thing they all have in common: pain. Over the counter pain relievers can actually be quite effective in many cases. When they aren't, some doctors are willing to try a prescription pain reliever, but not for long term use.
The main reason that cysts hurt is they are growing and stretching. The bigger they get, the worse they get. Certain treatments exist that do help reduce the swelling that causes the pain. Much of the treatment will always depend on where the cyst is and the estimated size.
Some health professionals like to try more natural and holistic approaches to cyst treatments and removals. Although there are some cases where relief and size reduction has been successful, most patients with serious pain don't find much relief at all and they are disappointed in the length of time some holistic treatments take in order to see any type of improvement.
External cysts typically will respond well to less aggressive and invasive measures of treatment. Cysts on the scalp, neck or face will usually respond to topical anti-inflammatory ointments. If the cyst is in a conspicuous area, the patient may ask the doctor to get rid of it which usually involved nothing more serious than removing the fluid with a needle.
Internal cysts can be treated this way as well, however, there are more risks involved and unless the patient is experiencing a lot of pain, or the cyst is in a dangerous location, doctors won't recommend this as an early on treatment. - 31802
