Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

A cyst is a sac. It may repeatedly collect fluid.

It can form due to various causes such as trauma, inflammation, infection, congential, idiopathic (cause not known).

To prevent recollection,it would have to be removed.

It would be best to consult an ENT doctor.He or she would be able to guide you through appropriate treatment.

I hope this helps
