Cyst found on my bf head.

I recently found a large lump on the back of my bf's head. It is about a quarter size and he said that a doctor told him it was a cyst and nothing to worry about. I began to ask him some basic questions but it seemed he didn

Hi
Welcome to the forum!
A cyst will have to be surgically removes along with the lining as this lining or capsule if left behind will keep on secreting and result in recurrence.
There are no natural ways to remove it and none are successful. Please follow the advice of your doctor and this is a simple surgical process, so do not worry.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

I was told by a plastic surgeon and dermatologist that the only way to get rid of a cyst like that is to cut it out. You can try draining it but it will keep coming back. You actually have to cut out the little sack and everything.
The thing is, it will continue to grow so you really should get it taken care of before it gets any bigger.
My daughter has had a fluid filled cyst behind her ear for years. We were told not to worry about it too and that when she was ready she could get it taken out. Well, that was her pediatrician who told her that. It has since grown quite a bit and it much larger and starting to cause some discomfort for her and she's 17 mpw and wants it out, so we are going to have it taken out.
It's actually not that big of a deal. We got a referral to a facial plastic surgeon and he told us he could do it right there in his office with just a local anesthetic. She doesn't have to be put completely under. He also said he won't have to shave her hair and that he will try to hide the scar as best as he can as far back as he can.

My recommendation to both of you is to get it removed. Otherwise, you will keep dealing with this and it will only continue to get bigger.
We are getting our daughter's done in two weeks. I can come back and let you know how it goes, if you like.

I have had a cyst on the back of my head.  It leaks out blood and a clear kinda white liquid.  I have been to the doctors they said they would have to cut it out, i am looking for a natural way to get rid of these I had the for about 3 years.  They will fill up and drain in a matter of 24 hours
