does a cyst mean you have a tomor,can they turn into tumors?

Question:

Answers:
cysts are usually a sweeling formed by fluid inside a thin wall. Usually they are pretty harmless.
Some can be cancerous eg ovarian cysts. The only way to know for sure is by examing the tissue under a microscope.
Sometimes harmless/benign cysts can turn cancerous. again there will be signs eg sudden increase in size, irregularity, rock-like hardness etc that will signal these cancerous changes. If u ever get any such symptoms in a cyst that was previously proved to be benign, show urself to a doctor.

Other Answers:
No, a cyst is usually not cancerous and it usually just filled with clearish/yellowish fluid from acne or from a prior injury you sustained. Nothing to worry about. If it bothers you (if it's acne related) you can get a shot to reduce it, or if it's in another place (usually the hands/wrists or other joints) you can have it drained.

NO, BUT IS IS A TEST THEY YOUR DOCTOR CAN GIVE YOU. TO DETERMINE IF THE CYST IS CANCEROUS IT IS CALLED CA-125. BUT PENDING ON YOUR AGE I WOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT IT IF YOUR UNDER THE AGE OF 40. IF YOUR STILL IN YOUR CHILD BEARING AGE BETWEEN 20 - 39 TRY TAKING BIRTH CONTROL TO CONTROL YOUR CYCLE.
