A cyst is a membrane sac which often encloses something within the sac. For example, a cyst may be hollow or may be filled with fluid. Another type of cyst may contain tissue or other types of cells. A cyst forms for a wide range of reasons but one of the most common reasons is that a cyst is the body's attempt to enclose and literally "wall off" something that could cause illness, infection, or another problem. For example, in some pregnancies, the embryo does not form correctly and the body will "wall off" and enclose the embyronic sac within a "cyst". That type of cyst is surgically removed and when it is sent to the lab, the technicians actually find parts of an embryo or embryonic cells within the cyst. In another less dramatic example, some people will get a small moveable cyst on a knuckle which can cause pain if it is resting on a nerve. This kind of cyst is most often simply full of fluid.

Is hydrocortisone usually used to get rid of sebaceous cysts?
No, hydrocortisone will not get rid of sebaceous cysts. The only way to get rid of them is to have them removed, including the sac. Usually, this involves a relatively simple bedside procedure that can be done in your primary care doctor's office where your physician will use a local anesthetic to numb the skin over the cyst, a scalpel to cut the skin overlying it and will extract it with a pair of hemostats. He may or may not drain the material inside the cyst first. Some people feel it is easier to get all the sac out if the cyst has been drained first, others disagree. So long as the entire sac has been removed, the cyst should not recur.
Does hitting a ganglion cyst with a book hurt?
It won't hurt to actually pop the cyst (which sometimes happens on its own, by the way), but if you hit the cyst with a book you might bruise the area around where you hit it (just like if you had hit the area with a book anyway), or if you hit it hard enough you might break a bone (just like if you had hit it with no cyst). Hitting a cyst with a book is usually not done; there are other ways to get rid of cyst including a doctor draining it with a needle and surgery. However, unless you want the cyst removed for cosmetic reasons there is no reason to remove a cyst- it usually doesn't hurt and does not restrict movement (I should know, I have a ganglion cyst on my wrist).

If a ganglion cyst is left untreated will it become very bad and serious?
I have a ganglion cyst in my wrist. Ganglion cysts are not harmful at all- the liquid inside of them is not toxic and the cyst is usually flexible enough to fit around bones and veins around them (in fact, my vein actually created a dent in the cyst because the cyst developed under the vein; however, the cyst isn't strong enough to break or even move the vein). Ganglion cysts rarely hurt and never restrict movement. Left untreated, the only thing a cyst might do is grow and shrink, which is perfectly normal. A ganglion cyst won't become serious. The only reason one might want to get rid of cyst (whether by a doctor draining or performing surgery on it) is for purely cosmetic reasons.
