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.
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).

Are there other cysts other than ganglion in the foot?
I have a ganglion cyst in my wrist, and I personally know two people with cysts- one has a ganglion cyst on the side of her wrist and one has a ganglion cyst on the top of her hand. One can also get cysts in other places of the body (especially near joints), but I'm not sure if cysts in other areas are also called "ganglion cysts".
