Who has or had cysts in other places

Hi just curious, I have had a cyst blow through my Jaw bone, dermoids removed from both of my ovaries and I also have cysts on my kidneys as well as my ovaries. I wondered if us cysters we more prone to them, or if mine were just a fluke?

I have a ganglion cyst on my right ankle. I had it drained but it came right back. Have been dragging my feet on getting it removed. Good question!

Dear Cyster,
Good question!
I had a cyst surgically removed from the inside of my eyelid when I was 6, had cystic acne when I was a teen and cysts ocassionally in my thigh/pubic area

Take care,
Inga

I had 5 cysts in my breast when I was 15 and one on my cheek when i was younger. The ones in my breast keep coming back. That was a good question!!

i had a ganglion cyst on my left wrist. i had it sucked out two years ago, then it came right back. i had it surgically removed in feb. 2001. it came back october 2001, and i had it sucked out again. it hasn't come back since, though it is still a tender spot. i've had a cyst on my upper inner thigh, near the skin. i kept bugging it, so it drained....

I was told by my orthopaedic doctor that I have what appears to be a benign cyst in my thigh bone. We're still investigating it. Otherwise I'll get an occasional boil here and there.

Hi. I'm so glad you asked that question! I have struggled with cysts in my groin area puberty (I'm now 29). Only last year did a Dermatologist give me the diagnosis of "Hidradenitis Suppurtiva". A condition that causes cysts in areas where we have apocrine sweat glands. From the research I have done (Internet sites and information from Dr.s), it seems that H.S. stems from adrogen imbalances (hormones). I think there is a connection between H.S. and PCOS.

I now get the cysts under my breast and on my stomach as well. It's a really frustrating, depressing condition. The cysts break open and it's a real mess. As if that condition wasn't enough, now I most likely have PCOS (waiting for test results).

Thanks.
Roo

I had a cyst removed from my nose when I was in 5th grade and I have had several injected with something ( I can't remember) to make them go away on my head.... they always come back though. I currently have one on my head that's the size of Marble, and several smaller ones scattered on my head. Oh I have cysts in my cervics too. NO telling where else I don't know about. LOL. Take care everyone.

Hello everyone,

I too have been plagued with cysts for a long time. I had one huge cyst removed in 1993 that weighed over 11 lbs. It was composed of the same material from my ovary. I have had cysts on my vaginal walls, thighs, mons and pubic area, hand, arms, under arms, and feet. These things are so annoying. I have only had one new cyst develop in the past 9 months. It is one that is very painful and will be removed during the Christmas holidays.
