A Baker's cyst is usually the result of knee-joint conditions, such as arthritis or torn cartilage, that cause the knee to produce too much lubricating fluid.
Symptoms, when they occur, may include a bulge and tight feeling behind the knee.
Treatment, if required, involves treating the underlying condition. Other options include a cortisone injection, fluid drainage with a needle or physiotherapy.

Baker’s cyst is the result of too much synovial fluid production from the knee. This increased fluid production could be due to various reasons like arthritis, inflammation of the knee joint or some kind of knee injury.

Kojic acid (a natural skin lightener derived from mushroom extract), arbutin (also called bearberry extract), and vitamin c (ascorbic acid) are great alternative ingredients to lighten scars left by acne.
