Why Does A Cyst Like Bump Grow On My Finger Cut?
hi i cut my finger with a hedge trimmer 4 yrs ago and never got it looked at...2 yrs later it began to grow a cyst like bump. It fills up and then starts to hurt and then finally busts with a lot of thick white blood tinged fluid....then 6mo later it grows back and does it again.....what do u think this is and what should i do to get rid of it?

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Trauma can result in the formation of a cyst. A cyst is a sac which can collect fluid.
It is likely that the trauma has result in cyst formation and this cyst repeatedly collects and then bursts. Because the sac remains after the discharge occurs, future build up is possible.
If the cyst is removed then no further build up is possible.
I hope this helps
