        Relax you are in good hands. I hope the best for you! I had the same feeling that something like Melanoma would never happen to me but May 2005 I had a Stage 1A diagnosis. Now, be positive, as of my last check-up by my derm 2 days ago I am fine. And I feel better than ever so again just be vigilant and careful.

        Do you have any idea what the clark level and depth of your melanoma is?

              Also, I should add, that cysts seem to just perturb me. And, what made me go to derm in 2005 was a cyst on my neck that eventually went away as well. So, I should just go with the obvious and deal with this pesky back cyst that seems to be gradually, but slowly getting smaller.

              Thanks,

                    Janner,

                    Thanks for the informative reply. My derm, a daughter of a dermatologist, so she grew up in an environment where skin is crucial. Anyway, my derm specified that perhaps I could get the cyst removed if it bothered me. However, I'd like to see what my body does first and give it a month or so like you say.

                    Thanks,

                          Thanks for the reassuring words. I guess I should let the body heal and absorb this naturally. So, just because the cyst had white pus makes it noncancerous? Just curious.

                           

                          Thanks!
