Is Recurring Cyst In Middle Finger Oozing Clear, Thick Liquid When Lanced Serious?
I have a cyst on my middle finger, first joint, 6mm in size. In the past two months I have lanced it twice where a clear thick liquid was released. It has returned again, I'm wondering if seeking medical attention and having it removed would keep it from returning.

Hello,
Cysts like this will continue to recur until the capsule is removed. A surgical removal could keep it from recurring.
