I've got this problem.. It's on my left middle finger, just below the nail and part of the cycts formation is occurring over the top of my nail. Mine does the same exact thing! I would like to know how epson salts relieved or "cures" this cyst? I can't use them because I only have one kidney and magnesium is a no-no. My dermatologist drains it and puts steroid in it. He says to come back in a month( that's Monday now)its been painful too. Drains, gets red, one time something sharp pricked it. It hurt, clear gel came out, it now has a spot that's a scab. So he says he is going to refer me to a hand surgeon. I'm guessing that's because there's a root that's the source to causing it and unless you remove the source it will continue to come back.
Any advice I get is appreciated from those who have already had a positive outcome. Thanks in advance!

I am scheduled to see a hand surgeon Wed. In the mean time...I have some new ones starting on at least 2 other fingers!! Help!

The dermatologist has now injected steroids 3x and since it always comes right back, time for the hand surgeon.

I have been told by doctors that after surgery to remove mucous cysts they will recur. That’s why I decided not to go that route.
Just by luck and self discovery I found a solution for me. So far, knock on wood, it is still working. Earlier in this thread I did post my experience and what worked for me.
