I have a cyst on my back that comes and goes. It will disappear for months and then reappear. It is itchy at times. Is this normal for cyst?

    You should see a dermatologist next time it appears.  It could be something else.   I've had 2 cysts and in both cases, they needed to be removed because they are growing and just bothersome.

    William ...if you are in UK,go see your GP.  They may be able to remove it.
