Suggest Remedy For Painful Cyst On The Base Of Head
I have a cyst on the back of my head ive had it since i was born, through out the years ive had the same thing happen about maybe once a year. At random points i will go to turn my head to look at something and in thar process i will get a sharp pain right where the cyst is. The pain feels like its expanding and feels like its hot and i cant move my head till the pains gone. Here recently its been happening alot like almost every other day and there was a day it happened four times, ive also been getting head aces where the cyst is. Should i be worried.

If you had not any symptoms along with the cyst,there was nothing to worry about.But as it is giving you sharp pains frequently,you do have to get an examination.I cant tell you exactly what type of cyst is this without proper knowledge of its size colour mobility over skin and underlying tissue,consistency.But as it is there for so long without any overt complications,it wont be something very serious may be a lipoma or sebaceous cyst only.Still it is recommended to get an appointment.
