[Trombone-l] ?Lip cysts?

[Chris Tune]

When I was in my teens and early twenties, I'd have these things 
semi-frequently (once or twice a year, roughly).  If they are the 
acne-related sort, then even surgery will only get rid of the one that is in 
the lip right now. . . .

Some people's acne runs toward this "cyst" type.  I was like that.  The good 
thing is that you outgrow it. You also, "sorta" get used to the pain.

If this is the only instance where this person ever got a cyst and he/she 
has no other acne, then, I wouldn't venture a guess.
