May Have A Cyst On Chin, Tried Removing Twice, Recurs. Suggestions ?

Hi I think i may have a cyst on my chin .. This is the third time its come back. The first time it dissapeared after a couple of weeks, the second time I had it removed and now its back.. The doctor had it tested but he says results came back clear..? He said its not an abscess , non bacterial and not cancerous.. Now that its back I went back to him and he has refered me to a specialist that I could be waiting months for. There is urgency in this matter as I work in a cafe and uts constantly weeping, and I have 2 children and cant afford time off.. Any suggedtions..? Pleas

hi,
Welcome to HCM,
From your history it seems that you are having Sebaceous cyst.
Once it breaks open you feel alright but again there is collection of secretion in the sac causing again lump.
It requires excision of cyst with removal of complete sac which will give permanent cure form cyst.
Meanwhile you get specialist appointment you may go for antibiotic medicine if there is pain or swelling.
Ok and bye.
