Gristle Cyst In Center Of The Chest, Recurring Even After Surgical Removal, Not Responding To Treatment. Solution?
hi, i am a 29yr old healthy male. for over 12 months i have had a gristle cyst (self diagnosed) in the centre of my chest just abovce nipple line. 2 yrs ago i had the same 1 surgically removed by a doctor but did not have the cyst checked for cancer . (he didnt think it was that important) the cyst does not grow or change radically but it is kindo of annoying. not painful but i dont want it there. Ive started using Enar on it but unlike in the past this time it is not working. the practitioner says the cells/nerves may have died so its not responding to the treatment. what to do? many thanks in advance.

dear hayesja
are we dealing with sebaceous cyst which was not excised properly.
they tend to recur if the capsule is not removed in toto
consult a different surgeon to get a second opinion
and this time do request him/her to send the sample for histopathology
