Hi @jeffsurfsalidita, Welcome to Connect. I have not had a digital mucous cyst but from what I've read I would agree with your doctor. Here's some information I found on the topic that explains it -- https://www.aocd.org/page/DigitalMucousCyst

Are you planning to setup an appointment to have it removed?

Thanks for your response John. I’m at Mayo Rochester now recuperating from a major foot surgery. Since I have 10 weeks non weight bearing, I think I’ll see if I can get it removed while I am here. I’m here for another two weeks then go home for Christmas then coming back here for my 6 & 10 week follow up staying for another month. My mucous cyst has been very stubborn and gets inflamed about every 2 weeks. I’ll get it removed since draining it doesn’t seem very successful. It isn`T very painful but sometimes can get pretty inflamed up to a 4 on pain level. It is more of a nuisance and kind of gross out in public since my fingernail is deformed.
