What can be done about genital cysts????
by BliNkO, Jan 08, 2001 12:00AM
I have noticed a lot of questions requarding genital cysts on the penis, and each question has been reassured that they are nothing to worry about. My question is, then what can be done to remove them, as although they may be harmless, but they are a feature which is not too attractive, and am sure that all who have the problem, would like to seek what can be done to remove or treat them. Is there a cream, or special removal task???
I would be happy to hear of anything that can be used to remove them, if any?

Yes, they can be removed, by electro-cautery or, if they are big enough, by cutting them out. The problem is that most people have a large number of such cysts, and when you get rid of them, new ones come. So it's not common in my experience for people to want them off. But yes, it can be done if desired.
Best.

Will these cysts remain forever, or disappear at some point?
