I have a cyst about 1 1/2 inches directly above my belly button, I went to the doctor in fear that it could be a hernia. He said it wasnt but indeed was a cyst, as I was relieved I didnt have hernia I wanted to get this cyst out. He said it isnt causing problems so just leave it. I know its there and feel it there so I want it gone. I live in Canada so health care is free so cost isnt an issue. I always like to do things naturally so if anyone has any ideas that would be great. I was thinking of doing the castor oil thing when you leave the castor oil on with gauze all day and all night. Has anyone had success with this. Also he said that it was a certain type of cyst, it was one that didnt have liquid in it or had very little inside. What kind of cyst is that? It is quite small but annoying? PLEASE any kind of help would be much appreciated.
