Yes and no; whether a cyst stops growing depends on the type of cyst. Benign cysts typically stop growing at some point.
Many cysts are benign and, after a certain size, cease growing. These cysts can become a permanent, harmless part of your skin. However, this isn't the case for all cysts. Other types of cysts may continue to grow and potentially cause discomfort or other complications.
Factors Influencing Cyst Growth:
- Type of Cyst: Different types of cysts have varying growth patterns.
- Underlying Cause: The reason the cyst formed can affect its growth rate and potential to stop growing.
- Location: The location of the cyst on the body can impact its growth due to surrounding tissue and pressure.
What to Do:
If you have a cyst that concerns you, it's best to consult with a medical professional for proper diagnosis and advice.
