Natural solutions for cysts exists. Cysts are sacs or hollow spaces within the skin or other tissues have have fluid, semi-liquid or solid material. They could also be filled with natural secretions like sebum from sebaceous gland or breakdown dead tissue. Typically, cysts are benign and can vary in size and appearance.

If your dog does have a cyst, you can apply a topical solution that you make at home. The ingredients include activated charcoal powder, betonite clay and filtered water or apple cider vinegar. You mix equal parts of activated charcoal and bentonite clay and 2x time the amount of filtered water or apple cider vinegar to make a "paste" like texture. In other words, take 1 tablespoon each of activated charcoal and bentonite clay and mix with 2 tablespoons of filtered water or apple cider vinegar. You can make more or less as needed. I like to make this in bulk to have on hand when needed. Next, apply the paste to the cyst and wait 20 minutes to take it off with a warm compress. Warning: this can be messy so removing in a bathroom or outside is ideal. This paste naturally draws out toxins and detoxifies the skin. This recipe also works for interdigital cysts, hot spots, dermatitis, skin infections and for pores on human faces too! Natural solutions for cysts exists.
In addition to the charcoal, bentonite clay mix, you can also simple apply a warm compress to the cyst for 20 minutes, 3x daily. The warm compress helps to increase blood circulation, which can speed up the healing time. This increases blood circulation, which can speed up healing. Although effective, this approach is time-consuming and if you have a dog that doesn't like to sit still for 20 minutes, 3x a day, the charcoal, bentonite clay mix is a better first choice.

Another highly effective remedy for cysts is a homeopathic remedy called Thuja Occidentalis, which has been used for centuries to treat warts, papillomas, condylomas caused by HPV, skin tags, acne, eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions, including cysts. Thuja can also be used to treat upper respiratory infections, detox from vaccinations and immune stimulation. If you'd like to try Thuja, you simply take 3-5 pellets of Thuja and mix it in 1/2 cup of filtered water. Let the pellets dissolve. Once dissolved, fill a 2mL syringe with the water and Thuja mixture and inject the liquid directly into your dog's mouth. Repeat once a day for 3 days and see if you notice any changes in the area. If you see improvement, no need do anything else. If you don't see improvement, there are other options to explore. You can read more about homeopathy and remedy possibilities here.
In addition to thuja and activated charcoal, bentonite clay mix, is a solution called DMSO, which is made of Dimethyl Sulfoxide. You simply take 1mL of the liquid solution and apply directly to the cyst 3x a day up to 14 days to assess if the DMSO is helping. It is an anti-inflammatory that rapidly penetrates into the skin and opens the inflamed duct and allows the content of the cyst to drain naturally. Natural solutions for cysts exists.
Other lifestyle factors to consider are exercise and diet. Exercise is particularly important for dogs who are prone to cysts because exercise promotes better circulation and better circulation and improved blood flow. Proper circulation and blood flow prevents an accumulation of trapped secretions within the skin. Diet is also incredibly important because what your dog eats every day, determines their health span and lifespan. Kibble does not provide optimal nutrition, prescription or not and raw food or home-cooked are the way to go to promote overall health and good circulation, which is crucial for a dog that is prone to cysts.

My young English Bulldog, Archer recently had a small cyst on his ear. He eats a dehydrated raw diet and gets plenty of exercise. In order to help him heal the cyst, I applied the activated charcoal and bentonite clay paste to the cyst directly once a day for 5 days. After 3 days, I saw some improvement, but not as much as I had hoped. On day 4, I administered Thuja 200c once a day for 3 days instead of 30c because the cyst came on suddenly and wanted him to clear the cyst quickly. On day 7, the cyst was noticeably smaller. On day 10, the cyst was almost gone. Natural solutions for cysts exist.
