Cysts

I have had a cyst on my left hip under the skin for many years. It got about the size of a half dollar. Sometime last night it burst. Now I have a large bruise where it was...should I be worried? Are they dangerous after they pop?
 
since the "after pop" has actually left a bruise of some kind, this would be something to just simply have evaluated by your doc at this point. that would NOT be the 'usual' norm for when any cyst just simply 'pops' and drains itself? the fact you have even had this one cyst there for years? has your doc ever seen it or gave you an indication of the 'whys' as to what formed it and whyi it was just there at all?

have you ever just had an ultrasound done on the whole abdominal just to rule out the possibility of actually having some level of actual 'cystic' type of underlying disease process going on in you? there ARE a few different types of these conditions that one of them i DO have called polycystic kidney disease but it is NOT ONLY within my now very enlarged kidneys? it has taken over both kidneys and my liver and i also have other cysts that have decided to move into other organs and even a muscle in my low back too? people do NOT usually even know thay have this disease til wayy into their late 30s or forties since the labs wont change in anyone til that very real underlying damage just hits that threshhold level and changes start?it actually took my youngest son becomming deathly ill(he was only 12) for us to even KNOW that my side of the family actually ahd this running in it. i found out i had had this crap my whole life, as well as my sister who did not know either, when i was right around 40 years old and with still perfect kidney and liver labs. this IS one insane type of kidney disease, let me tell ya. if you or your doc have no real clue as to why that cyst was even there, you DO seriously need to check out the rest of your abdominal for any other possible cystic growth. i too can feel some of my cysts in only certain places since the organs are sooo freaking huge and i am a very small person? but this just is the most common type of inherited disease process.

if i were you right now, i would definitely seek out your primary to have that area evaled and for him to actually see that "type" of bruising left behind, and to also see about just checking out your entire abdominal with one simple ultrasound too. this cystic crap is very easily seen and actually usually Dxed by US. hopefully that one cyst was a 'nothing', but you just DO need to find that out by ruling out other potential cysts within your body at this point too? esp since this cyst was just even there this long, and what got left behind once it burst and drained too? an actual 'bruise' would simply mean that actual blood vessels were also somehow involved with this too, which needs to be found out as well?

good luck with this and please do see your doc and let me know what you find out, K? FB
 
Yeah a doctor looked at it once and told me it was a fat deposit. It was very movable, grew over time. Never in my life did I ever think it would pop. The area doesn't hurt, it's a little swollen, I'm not running a fever and I don't have health insurance :) That puts a big stink on everything.
 
Yours just poped on its own! :O
Teach me how you managed to get it to pop please :)

Looking for an answer to this also, I had one two years ago (still have it) but i drained it with en needle @ a doctor's two years ago, since then i haven't seen a doctor :)...

Its till there, doesnt hurt me or bother me...
but i want to get the rid of mines!

I have seen the "book slamming method" on youtube, and it seems to work..

but i got a Cyst in an odd place!

on the inner wrist (not on the back of my hand but the side as if i were to be looing at my palm), i dont wanna slam a book onto my wrist and break it or cause more damage...

Is there another way to remove it, other than operation?
