A cyst is a small lump or pocket that forms in or on your body. This sac contains fluid, air, or other materials. Think of it like a water balloon under your skin or inside your organs. Most cysts aren't dangerous, but they can sometimes hurt or get infected. You might notice a bump you can feel, or an internal cyst might only be found during medical tests. Common places include the skin, ovaries, breasts, and kidneys, but cysts can pop up almost anywhere.
Cyst symptoms appear depending on the location and type. Contact a physician if you feel these symptoms:

Cysts come in many forms, each with its quirks:
These pesky bumps form when oil gets trapped under your skin. They show up as smooth lumps, mainly on your face, scalp, ears, and back. They grow slowly and usually don't hurt unless they get infected. If you squeeze one (though you shouldn't!), it might release thick, cheese-like stuff with a bad smell.
Often confused with sebaceous cysts, these form when skin cells that should flake off get trapped under the surface instead. They're common on the face, neck, and upper body. They feel like firm, round bumps under your skin that move slightly when pushed.
These jelly-filled sacs pop up near joints and tendons, especially around wrists and hands. They look like knots under the skin and might get bigger when you use that joint a lot. Some hurt, others don't bother you at all. They've been called "Bible bumps" because an old treatment was hitting them with a heavy book!
Many women get these fluid-filled sacs on their ovaries. Most are harmless and go away on their own. You might not even know you have one unless it grows large, twists, or ruptures – then you might feel pain or pressure in your lower belly.
These troublemakers form at the top of your buttocks crease, near your tailbone. They contain hair, skin, and other debris, and can get painfully infected. They're more common in men, people who sit a lot, and those with thick, coarse body hair.
When your knee produces too much fluid, it can form a cyst behind the knee. These feel like a bulge or tightness behind your knee, especially when you're active or fully bend your leg.
