You should not pop a cyst as doing so can make the cyst worse and spread bacteria.

It can also be pretty hard to pop most cysts to begin but you should just wait and allow the cyst to go away on it's own.

Some types of cysts do go away on their own without any treatment.

Most cysts are non cancerous and nothing to worry about and go away within a week or 2 weeks.

However if the cyst does not go away within a few weeks or gets bigger aft that time then you should see a doctor to be sure it's not cancerous.

But the good news is that most cysts are nothing to worry about and non cancerous.

Cysts may feel like small peas below the skin or they may also be painless and also may be large and expand the skin and cause a large bump depending on where the cyst is.

You can tell and know if you have a cyst as the cyst will appear as a bump on your skin and the bump may be either a larger bump or smaller bump.

If the cyst is large, you may feel either a dull or sharp pain on one side of your pelvis or abdomen.

You may also feel bloated, or a heaviness in your lower abdomen.

If the cyst ruptures, you'll feel a sudden, sharp pain.

You can get cysts through trauma, injury and even through infections or they may just appear for no other particular reason.

Most cysts are actually nothing to worry about and go away on their own.

The Cysts usually appear as a result of blockage of the ducts

The type of cyst you have depends on where the cysts forms.

Some cysts can be internal (such as in a breast, the ovaries, or the kidneys) while others are external and form in visible locations on the body.

A cyst is a sac-like pocket of membranous tissue that contains fluid, air, or other substances.

Cysts can grow almost anywhere in your body or under your skin.

There are many types of cysts.

Most cysts are benign, or noncancerous.

Simple heat is the most recommended and effective home measure for draining or shrinking cysts.

Here's how it works: Heat may reduce the thickness of liquid in the cyst.

In the case of liquid-filled epidermoid cysts, this may help fluid drain quicker into the lymphatic system.

Most cysts do go away on their own and require no treatment.

Although if the cysts is cancerous it can lead to serious complications.

Some cysts are cancerous and early treatment is vital.

If left untreated, benign cysts can cause serious complications including: Infection the cyst fills with bacteria and pus, and becomes an abscess.

If the abscess bursts inside the body, there is a risk of blood poisoning (septicaemia).
