Hello! If a synovial ganglion (cyst) bursts due to a sudden movement or blow, does it reappear?

Answer:

This is a tricky one. If it bursts than there is a high risk on infection. However, there is a chance it will happen again, especially if the area is not properly cleaned after bursting and if the gunk isn't cleaned up. It could be dangerous if it is an internal cyst, so please be careful.
