Cysts are tiny pouch-like abnormal formations that are either filled with dirty fluid or semi-solid toxins and can occur on any part of the body. These closed pocket formations have separate walls that help them hang on to the surrounding tissues.
In many cases the cysts fall off on their own with a little help in the form of medications but in some cases they have to be removed surgically. You can look at using herbs for getting rid of cysts before you try anything as drastic as surgery.
