How do i get rid of cyst


A cyst is an abnormal, enclosed structure containing fluids, gas or semisolid material. They occur anywhere on the body and are quite common. They vary in size from the microscopic to ones that are so large that they apply pressure on surrounding organs and can affect the way they function.

There are a number of different causes of cysts. They include:

  • Regular wear and tear of the tissue
  • Obstructions to the flow of fluid in the body
  • Chronic inflammatory conditions
  • Tumors
  • Infections
  • Genetic diseases
  • Developmental defects in the embryo
Getting rid of a cyst may be simply a matter of waiting for it to subside on its own. In other cases, treatment for a cyst will depend on the underlying cause as well as the location of the cyst. Large cysts that cause symptoms may have to be removed surgically. At other times, fluid-filled cysts can be drained by using a needle. This causes a collapse of the cyst. For cysts that are not easily accessible, imaging techniques may be used to pinpoint the location and aid in aspirating its contents.

In certain cases where there is a suspicion that the cyst is cancerous, a biopsy of the cyst wall may be performed. The sample is then sent to the laboratory to check for the presence of malignancy.

Most often it is suggested that you do not try to drain a cyst at home. However, there are certain home remedies that you may try to treat cysts that accompany outbreaks of acne and under-the-skin pimples. However, you should check with your doctor before using any of these home remedies.

Here are some dos and don’ts:


  • Do not try to pop the cyst as it may result in infection and scarring. Left on their own, these types of cysts usually subside. Your goal is to speed that process along.
  • A topical antibiotic cream can be applied in case the cyst is red, inflamed or if the skin is peeling.
  • Slice a raw potato and leave it on the cyst overnight after securing it with a bandage.
  • Soak a teabag in milk and apply it to the cyst overnight after securing it with a bandage.
  • Apply apple cider vinegar to your skin using a cotton swab. This can be done 3 to 4 times a day. The cyst should subside after a few days.
  • For recurrent outbreaks of cystic acne, take supplements of fish oil containing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
