Please help.

Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Relax and do not worry. Yes, it is a ganglion cyst. It is very common and not malignant. It will not regress with medicines. It requires surgical removal as suggested by your doctor. Go ahead and get the surgery done. Recurrence chances are one percent.
I hope this helps.
Kindly revert in case of further queries.
Thank you.
