I have a large cyst on my face, but no health insurance? |
It's really big, about an inch and a half long under my right eye. It looks bruised and is really noticeable to other people. I've read that dermatologists have a shot that can remove them. My biggest problem is that I don't have medical insurance. How much does this shot cost, and are there any alternative treatments that are cheaper or more effective? How long have you had this cyst? Has a doctor seen this yet? It can be something more than just a cyst, such as skin cancer (not to alarm you, but if this is something that suddenly "popped up", then you really need to see a doctor about this.) However, if this is something that slowly developed, you may be right and may be a sebaceous cysts. Sebaceous cysts are harmless, slow-growing bumps under the skin, often appearing on the scalp, face, ears, back, or groin area. The cysts usually contain dead skin and other skin particles. Treatment for sebaceous cysts: Sebaceous cysts can usually be treated by a physician by puncturing the top and removing its contents. However, large cysts may reappear and may have to be surgically removed. If a cyst becomes infected, treatment may include administering antibiotics and then surgically removing the cyst. I also read that some cysts may disappear on their own after time and not reappear. If you're worried about cost, try calling a medical college or local doctor and ask for a reference as to where you could go for a reasonable cost to get this looked at. When I was pregnant, I used a clinic used to train doctors, which saved me quite a bit of money.

Are there any free clinics in the area that could help you out - I would recommend finding out if there are and seeing if they can do anything for you. Otherwise check and see if there are other resources in your community that may be able to help you out. Call a doctor. Ask about a payment plan. Look for a clinic in your area that will accept a payment plan, or charge you based on your income... it should not be very difficult to remove, but because it is close to your eye and because of the discoloration you should see a medical doctor as soon as possible to have it removed and tested to make sure it is simply a cyst and not something more serious.
