Are Painful Cysts On The Buttocks Related To Smoking Cigarettes?
Does smoking cigarettes cause cysts? I have a ( dont laugh now) large cyst on the bottom right butt cheek and i want to know if me being an everyday smoker causes it. Cigarettes has been a problem for me since i was 18 and at the same age i started to develope cysts on my lower body. They come and go. Most of the time poping before i go to the er. Do to the region of the cysts, at some point in the process of it popping the pain is so agonizing i can barely move. Im 22 now and this problem comes and goes sometimes i dont get one for months then out of no where,, boom there it is.
Smoking can cause yhese, but some of them are related to hygiene as well. Probably if you live in a region where it is hot and humid causing you to sweat often can also contribute. You should try and stop smoking to see if it helps.
Best wishes.
