I am new to this site but happy to hear that some of you have gotten rid of their cysts. I just developed a mucous cyst a few months ago.While most unattractive it is not very painful and thus far has not burst. If someone can tell me about which Dr teals lotion with epson salts they used, I would be most appreciative. Also did anyone soak their fingers in epson salts and how much did they use and for how long. I also have several" herberden nodes" but was told there was nothing I could do for them?

This is the lotion I was using and continue to use. I get it at WalMart.
I had the mucous cyst on my finger for probably nine months or so. It would grow and then burst on its own about every 4-5 weeks. When it would burst I would put some neosporin on it with a bandaid for a couple days because the skin was raw. I can’t believe it hasn’t come back now since the last time it burst. Other than that I just used this Dr Teals lotion on my hands everyday.
