Treatment:

• Non-surgical: (suction) of the cyst using a needle after numbing the area.
• Surgical removal: If the cyst recurs or causes significant discomfort, it can be removed through a minor surgical procedure.

These treatments generally offer successful outcomes, allowing patients to resume their normal activities.
