cyst
Hi, i am a 26 your old woman and I have a cyst on the side of my face on the jaw line close to my ear its probably the size of a five rand coin and its problem not even a centimeter high. My question is do i need to go in for surgery or is it something that can be drained

Hi Lianna
I think it must be drained by a surgeon otherwise it can make an abcess and leave an ugly mark.
