Suggest Treatment For Cyst On Toe
Hi, I have had a myozid cyst on my toe for over 5 years. My doctor didn t seemed concerned. However, I live in a warm area and I regularly wear sandals. I find it cosmetically nasty! Is there a home treatment such as draining it and applying pressure? I have drained it in the past, but it comes back. Would pressure help after draining. And yes, I use sterile needles.Thanks

Hi,
I can understand your concern for cyst on toe. It is a benign condition. You consult the general surgeon.
It may be removed under local anaesthesia.
Remember, there is no home treatment. And kindly do not drain by pin pricking,as it commonly recurs. So, best treatment is surgery...ok
Thanks.
