Best Answer

A 'cyst is a closed sac having a distinct membrane and division on the nearby tissue. It may contain air, fluids, or semisolid material. A collection ofpus is called an abscess, not a cyst. Once formed, a cyst could go away on its own or may have to be removed through surgery.

In a general sense a cyst is a growth on your body (could be internal) or just under the skin and generally harmless, but as always I say to people I am not a doctor so if you have one (or suspect you have one) a visit to a "professional" is always good advice.
