I'm thinking that it's a typo for "quisto". "Quisto no olho" is a cyst on/near the eye. I'm thinking of those puffy red things that appear on the lid that my grandmother used to call a "wen." I can't find any documentation for "wen."
The pictures of the dermoid cyst look more serious than what I have in mind:
About 35% have a dermoid (cyst on the eye), which is usually not harmful and does not impair vision. If a dermoid is going to occur it will be present from ...

I understand your point. But why would you take an herbal treatment for it? I think someone made a mistake because of the similarity of the two words.
