Hi,
Pl. do not worry the overian cysts are curable as asked by you
Following are the informations about the overian cysts.
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that are formed in the ovaries (ovaries are two small organs on each side of the womb or the uterus that produce hormones and an egg each month) which produce hormones and an egg each month. These are common in women in their reproductive years.
Most of these cysts are non-cancerous (benign). The various types of cysts are:
Functional cyst
This is the most common type. It is formed due to an aberration in the development of an egg. In a normal course a mature follicle ruptures in the ovary to release the egg and then forms a mass called the Corpus Luteum. If pregnancy does not occur in that cycle, the Corpus luteum normally disintegrates. If this does not happen then a functional cyst is formed. The functional cysts normally do not produce any symptoms and disappear within one-three menstrual cycles.
Dermoid cyst
These are ovarian cysts filled with cheesy material and may have various types of tissue including hair and skin in them.
Cystadenoma
These are cysts which develop from the outer surface of the ovary. Majority of them are benign (non- cancerous).
Endometrial or chocolate cyst
Sometimes clusters of cells normally found in the lining of the uterus (endometrial cells) attach themselves to the ovary causing an endometrial cyst to form. This is a dark and red-brown coloured cyst and hence is also called chocolate cyst.
Polycystic ovary
In this condition the ovaries have multiple small cysts. These result from hormonal imbalance. These women are usually overweight and can have excessive facial hair and difficulty in conceiving.
Ovarian cysts usually do not cause any symptoms. However if the symptoms occur, they are:
A feeling of fullness in the stomach or a slight pain.
Irregular or painful periods
They may be detected by a pelvic examination which could be confirmed by other tests.
Ultrasound is a test in which sound waves are used to create pictures of the organs found inside the body. It can be used to confirm the presence of the cyst and many times the nature of the cyst.

Answer #1 is right, and the acne can result from the cysts messing around with your hormone production.
Get educated re. this, and the symptoms of a ruptured cyst, which is a medical emergency. You need to know what to watch for.
I am assuming you are under the care of the Dr. and they are trying Meds or laproscopic surgery to remove them.
Stay on top of it, you will feel better & be glad that you did.
