Soft and painless cysts can be palpated at the parotid glands, which can be touched, and transparent liquid can be drawn by puncture. Can be surgically removed. Introduction to the disease are retention cysts, parotid cysts, and dermoid cysts that occur in the parotid glands

Because it is caused by inflammation, you can usually heal yourself. Severe parotid cysts can be treated by drainage; during illness: do not eat spicy, do not drink, do not eat hair, congenital cysts are more common in the parotid gland, due to the development of epithelial components left in deep tissues during embryonic development Retention cysts that occur in the small salivary glands are called mucous gland cysts, and cysts that occur in the remaining salivary glands are named after the disease site, that is, sublingual gland cysts, submandibular gland cysts, and parotid cysts.
