I am having a hard time figuring out your question;  I think you are saying that you have a cyst at the site of the surgery-- not deep, but at the level of the skin?  Sometimes people get a 'hematoma', which is a collection of blood that can form a lump or a 'bubble' of sorts...  you can also get cysts from infection, from spinal fluid, and from 'lymph' or the fluid that bathes the tissues.  If you have a cyst that is increasing in size and painful, it will probably need to be drained at some point.  The main risk with a cyst is that it can put pressure on other tissues and cause pain;  it can also become infected.
