Is recurring cyst in middle finger oozing clear, thick liquid when lanced serious?
Patient: 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. Doctor: Hello,Cysts like this will continue to recur until the capsule is removed. A surgical removal could keep it from recurring.Regards
