Common types include <strong data-start=\"338\" data-end=\"358\">epidermoid cysts<\/strong>, caused by blocked hair follicles, and <strong data-start=\"398\" data-end=\"417\">sebaceous cysts<\/strong>, which form in oil glands. <strong data-start=\"445\" data-end=\"461\">Breast cysts<\/strong> are fluid-filled lumps near breast glands and should be monitored closely for any changes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"554\" data-end=\"950\">Other types include <strong data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"592\">ganglion cysts<\/strong> near joints like wrists and ankles, and <strong data-start=\"633\" data-end=\"652\">pilonidal cysts<\/strong>, which appear near the tailbone and can become infected. <strong data-start=\"710\" data-end=\"727\">Ovarian cysts<\/strong> form during the menstrual cycle, often without symptoms, while <strong data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"806\">Baker cysts<\/strong> develop behind the knee due to joint problems like arthritis. <strong data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"884\">Pilar cysts<\/strong> occur mostly on the scalp from protein buildup in hair follicles.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"952\" data-end=\"1317\"><strong data-start=\"952\" data-end=\"968\">Mucous cysts<\/strong> appear in the mouth due to blocked salivary glands, while <strong data-start=\"1027\" data-end=\"1052\">branchial cleft cysts<\/strong> are developmental lumps in the neck. <strong data-start=\"1090\" data-end=\"1119\">Perineural (Tarlov) cysts<\/strong> form on the spine and may cause back or leg pain.
