How Can Reoccurring Cysts Growth In The Body Be Prevented?

I m a 32 yr old female. I had a large cyst removed from my left breast when I was 14. Another cyst was removed in my 20 s about 6 inches north of the first cyst. I suspect I have a cyst in my jawline but have not been seen. I believe there is a cyst on my right ear lobe and a cyst in the back portion of my knee. I know it s not suggested to have them removed unless necessary. I m curious would they be from the same original location or are they different types of cysts unrelated? Is there anything I can do to prevent this. I m thin and healthy. I have hypothyroid but I have never been overweight. The only reason I had the other cysts removed because they were over 3 inches in width and continued to grow.

Hello
As per the description of the clinical scenario I would say that having a cyst is very common pathology, but having multiple cysts at different sites is a little bit rare. however I would like to say that although cystic leisons are very common but their cause is mainIy idiopathic , and that's why it is not possible to counteract its probability. The definitive management for any kind and of cyst is surgical excision and hence if one has a cyst, it must be excised out before any complication arises.
Thank you.
