Remedies For A Mucous Cyst

Intralesional Corticosteroid Injection

Depending on the size and location of the mucous cyst, an individual's primary care physician or dental care provider may want to inject steroid medication directly into the cyst. This intralesional corticosteroid injection is used to reduce inflammation. Once the inflammation is reduced, healing can happen more quickly. Most patients have a good success rate using these injections to reduce the size of the cysts. When it comes to complete disappearance of the mucocele, injections of corticosteroids have a success rate of about ninety percent. This treatment can be a good choice for patients who wish to avoid more invasive mucous cyst treatments whenever possible.
