I am reading alot about people having cysts? I had a lump removed from my arm 2 years ago, and now have another small one on my arm, is that lyme related? Do most lyme patients have many... do they develop because of meds or the disease?

The lyme cysts you've probably read about are not cycst sin the skin. The lym bacteria turns into a cyst when it senses danger and the cysts can't be killed by many antibioitics. So Flagyl is prescribed to "bust them."
