What Causes Painful Cysts On Body?
Why do I suddenly have extremely painful cysts showing up on different parts of my body, mostly my stomach/waist. They are leaving deep holes in my skin. I m also wondering if cysts are a considerably high risk for spread infection to the blood stream? I have never had a cyst before this outbreak started.

Hi,
There are different conditions that can cause cysts to appear on the skin. Some of the most common reasons would be skin infection, inflammatory disorder of the skin eg: bullous pemphigod. It would be best to see a dermatologist for an assessment. This would include examination, full history and possibly biopsy of the skin.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
