What should I do about a ganglion cyst that is growing by my temple on the side of my face?


It is in my hairline on the side of my face and it is causing me some discomfort. It is hard and getting bigger.

How do you know that it's a ganglion cyst? That would be a very unusual location.

There's not to much they do to treat a ganglion cyst except to smash it without opening the skin. If it bothers you then see a physician about the possibility of having it excised as drainage is more often than not temporary.
