I have a sebaceous cyst tucked in behind my right ear. I have had it lanced before but now two years later it has recurred. I also have three cysts up to the size of a golf ball on my chest. The one behind my ear is very painful when it flares up and when it bursts there is this whitish brown liquid and some semi-hard white stuff and sometimes really dark blood, that I think is infected.

So far, I've had nine cysts in the past nine years. Some went away with just packing them. Four had to be surgically removed. Each had to be reopened because they'd flare up, drain again, and not heal. The doctors are clueless as to why I get them and why they don't want to heal. The drainage is a creamy off-white liquid and the blood is sticky and there's no odor. Lab results show nothing unusual. I've been tested for everything in an attempt to find an answer. I constantly wear bandages because of the continual drainage. Right now, both arms are bandaged. They erupt every two to three days. So far, my diagnosis has been sebaceous cysts.

I have two cysts that have formed on my back, one for each pregnancy. I have been searching for answers as to why they showed up when I got pregnant, and why they haven't gone away. One is on the left side of my lower back (tucked nicely inside my muffin top), and it hurts when my hormones are out of whack, or when I am going to be starting my period. I asked the nurse practitioner about it, and she didn't seem concerned. They are obviously hormonally caused. They are not on my ovaries either. The OB/GYN didn't seem concerned about it either.

I have a cyst that is said to be congenital on the upper part of my buttock. The initial symptoms were pain, redness, swelling, and eventually, a large bump appeared. I went into my doctor's office, and they drained much of the fluid, and now, because it is still very painful (I cannot sit down), I must have it removed.

I have a painless cyst (2cm) in the upper right side of my neck, near the pulse. A CT scan shows no abnormal growth. I now have a larger lump, (quarter size) somewhat sensitive to touch on my upper back, 8 inches behind my left armpit. I'm 70 yrs old, active in tennis, and wonder if this is just an aging thing.

I have been dealing with ovarian cysts I have had 6 burst in the last year. They are very painful. I also have had a cyst removed from my scalp but another one has come back. I also have one on my wrist called a ganglion cyst. It doesn't hurt just annoying it prevents me from doing several tasks because its so weak. I want to know how to stop the ovarian cysts. Those are severely painful and I would really like them to stop.

I have had a cyst on the back of my neck at first I found it in my teenage years and went to the hospital and the doctor told me to put a luke warm water or wash cloth on it. It was gross because it broke and it was draining a clear liquid. Now, I have had many more since then on my neck and they are so gross. I haven't had them checked out yet.

I noticed a large lump in my armpit. At first I thought it may be razor burn, but it was way too big and beneath my skin. I've had a cyst on the back of my calf as a younger child, and so I read up on them. I never would have thought you could get a cyst in your armpit, but I guess anything is possible.
