3 days ago, the cyst I've had on my back (upper, kinda near my shoulder) began hurting!

I've had this cyst for years now. Once before it became in this state of being swollen and red (around the skin). I was put on some prescription at the time, and sent off. They refused to remove it saying, "Eh, if it happens again MAYBE we'll consider removing it".

Well, I know why it gets in this state. It's in a spot that's always touching the back of my chair. When I lie in the bathtub and read, it has pressure on it from the hard wall of the tub. My purse strap just happens to also hang right over it, and that doesn't help the matter.

So I have an appointment for 8:40pm tonight to go see my doctor about this. Luckily they fit me in.

I know my parents both have cysts. My mom had them on her scalp (poor Mom) and she had that one removed x3 and it always returned.

I just honestly want them to lance the thing and take the chance of it returning at this point.

Ugh. What a pain in the butt (or back! lol).
