Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern.Sorry to hear you are suffering from a recurrent mucous retention cyst.
Recurrence of cyst after surgery is common especially if all the membranes were not removed.Since it has recurred and is even bigger and causing all the symptoms you describe, you will need to be reprogrammed for surgery and this time around, your Surgeon should try to take out all the membranes.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
Best regards
