My kitty-cat got a big fat lump (looked like an enlarged blister) on her chin years ago. Turned out it was a cyst that was growing and it eventually had to be removed. They cut it out and stitched the skin back together and when the hair grew over it, you couldn't even tell.
Cysts just happen sometimes. I have a ganglion cyst on the inside of one ankle. It happened because I have been an avid speed walker for years. It hasn't grown, it just sits there and doesn't bother me. But they can grow and enlarge and they can be painful. My husband had one on a tendon in his wrist. It was very painful until it was removed. It just depends on where it is located. |
