How do you cure ganglion cyst at the base of the finger without surgery?

"Ganglion Cyst Treatment

Self-Care at Home
In the past, home care has included topical plaster, heat, and various poultices. It even extended to use of a heavy book to physically smash the cyst (sometimes this is called 鈥淏ible therapy鈥?. These forms of treatment are no longer suggested, however, because they have not been shown to keep the ganglion cysts from returning and could, in fact, cause further injury."
"
Medical Treatment
Many cysts (38-58%) can disappear without any treatment at all. "

My husband has one on his wrist that flares up from time to time. The only "cure" is surgery, but we have no insurance so he just takes prescription anti-inflammatory arthritis meds. They help the cyst go down and stop hurting. He only takes them when it flares up bad.

Is a meat cleaver considered surgery?

a ganglion cyst is a tumor so you need a Drs. care on what to do about it

Not sure if this remedy will work on a ganglion cyst, but using Apple Cider Vinegar will eliminate warts. Might be worth a try since it is cheap, and wouldn't harm anything.

I was told to soak the affected area in Apple Cider Vinegar for one hour, for 30 days. It removed the warts with no scarring.

You can also soak a cotton ball or cotton pad in Apple Cider Vinegar and then tape it on using medical tape at bedtime and keep it on while you sleep.

Good luck!

I have some that come and go. The doctor was not helpful except surgery, but I tried to treat them as I once did a mole. I tried to smother them and it worked; for a while. I used 'prid', also called 'black salve'. I kept them covered with a bandage. It took a long time, but they did shrink a lot, nearly gone. But they have come back. I have been thinking I might try an otc mole or corn remover. I think the main thing was cutting off air.

I used hail polish on the mole when I was in high school. It never came back.

From what I understand, if you just wait (perhaps a long time) it will probably resolve on its own.
