I had a cyst on top of my small toe that was aggravated by rubbing on my shoe. I had it opened up and the doctor could not remove the hard cyst. A week after the lancing, the cyst came to the top and I got it out. Now weeks later, I have a lump left that appears to be getting smaller but not going away and I wonder if it will go away on it s own. The actual cyst was about the size of a sesame seed, but the surrounding tissue is hard with no inflammation. What s going on? Bobby T
Hi, sorry to inform you that though you do not feel any pain or discharge but only hardness, still it is nothing but an inflammatory condition. Possibly there is reaction to the spilled out material from the cyst contents and due to the strong immunity of your body the inflammation is only limited to some localized hardness! It could be aggravated if your try to mobilize it yourself or poke it; avoid that and take some antibiotics and maintain local hygiene. For confirmation of the situation please go for an FNAC test with culture sensitivity and revert to us if necessary. Wish you good health!
