Benefits of Cyst Removal

Undergoing cyst removal offers numerous benefits:

• Improved Appearance: Cysts can impact your self-esteem. Removal can significantly enhance your appearance, helping you feel more confident.
• Relief from Discomfort: Many cysts can be painful or irritating. Removing them can provide immediate relief.
• Prevention of Infection: Some cysts can become infected, posing a risk to your health. Professional cyst removal helps to avoid this risk.
• Long-term Solution: While some cysts may disappear on their own, removal is often the most effective way to ensure they don’t come back.

What is a Cyst?

Cysts are a common skin condition characterized by developing a keratin or fluid-filled pocket beneath the skin’s surface. These lesions can vary from a small pea to several centimeters in diameter. While many cysts are benign and painless, they can sometimes become inflamed, infected, or painful.

When should I seek cyst removal?

While many cysts are harmless and many do not require treatment, you should consider removal if:

• The cyst repeatedly becomes painful, inflamed, or infected.
• It is growing rapidly.
• It interferes with your daily activities or becomes bothersome.
• There is concern about its cosmetic appearance.

Consulting with our team of dermatologists for cyst removal will help determine if you’re a suitable candidate.

What can I expect during cyst removal?

It is important to remove the entire cyst capsule during the procedure to minimize the risk of recurrence.

Our dermatologic surgeons will first inject a local numbing agent into the area to ease discomfort throughout the procedure. Then, an incision in the skin is made to access the cyst capsule and remove it. Once removed, we will carefully repair the area with stitches. We use small incisions and operative techniques to minimize scarring.

After removal, the tissue is sent to pathology to ensure the lesion is benign.

The length of the procedure varies depending on the cyst size and location, but it typically takes thirty minutes to complete.

Recovery and Aftercare

After your cyst removal, proper aftercare is crucial for healing. Here’s what to expect:

• Minimal Downtime: Most patients resume normal activities within a day or two.
• Cyst Removal Aftercare: Follow-up care may include keeping the area clean and dry, applying prescribed topical ointments, and avoiding strenuous activities.
• Monitor for Infection: It’s important to watch for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge.

We will provide comprehensive guidelines to facilitate a smooth recovery process.
