HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that it is a cyst.

A cyst is a sac that can form in different aspects of the body. It collects different types of fluid.

Even if the cyst is emptied, recollection occurs. The only way to stop this would be to have the cyst removed by your doctor.This is a simple in office procedure.

I hope this helps
