Treatment for<unk>  is unnecessary if it is painless and shows minimal swelling, particularly since minor cases are taken as a mark of pride. But<unk>  may lead to worse disorders. The primary methods of treatment involve adjustments to playing of the instrument: * good hygiene for the affected area and for the instrument * use of a clean cotton cloth that is changed frequently *use of a comfortable pad to absorb sweat and reduce friction between the instrument and skin * use of a shoulder rest to reduce pressure below the jaw * a suitable chin rest, especially one carved or molded for the individual * covering or changing potentially allergenic materials on the instrument. * shifting the chin rest to the center of the body over the tailpiece * smoothing coarse surfaces to reduce abrasion * for males, growing a beard to avoid folliculitis Surgery is necessary for sialolithiasis, parotid tumors, and cysts. Cervical lymph nodes that are larger than 1 cm must be biopsied. Connective tissue can be removed by excision when a non-inflamed mass is large, and there is generally little recurrence. Infections should be treated conservatively, and causative species should be identified through smear and culture for appropriate antibiotic selection. Reduction of playing time may be helpful for cases without inflammation, but in 30% of cases this did not improve the symptoms.
