You shouldn't risk asking that on here - you never know what answer you could get which would be totally wrong. The only REAL way to tell is to have a biopsy done by a qualified medic in suitable premises i.e. a doctor in a hospital!

A cyst is an abnormal pocket of fluid, like a blister, that can form in many different areas of the body including the skin, genitals and internal organs. A cyst can vary in size from a tiny sac right up to a heavy bag containing litres of fluid. The common symptom is localised swelling, but a cyst may or may not be painful. Sometimes, depending on the cause and location, a cyst contains semi-solid or solid material. The typical treatment for any cyst is surgical removal and a routine test for cancer, even though most cysts are benign. All unusual lumps need to be professionally investigated.

If it is a cyst, they aren't cancerous. The doctor would most likely put a needle in it (aspiration) and pull the fluid out of it. I've had this done many times. It's no big deal.
Cancerous lumps are solid and hard. Cysts are only filled with fluid.

A doctor will either remove the entire cyst or remove a tissue sample of it, depending on it's size and nuisance. Then they will biopsy the sample to determine if it's cancerous.

It depends upon:
its location
its consistency
size
shape
Speed of growth
associated lymph node enlargement.
But the final definitive diagnosis is BIOPSY and Microscopic examination.
Often a cyst, eg a sebaceous cyst ,is simple to diagnosis without any further tests.
Good LUCK
