Skin Cyst Removal
What is a Skin Cyst?
A skin cyst is a closed sac-like structure under the skin filled with fluid, pus, or other material. These cysts can vary in size, from small lumps to larger, more noticeable growths. While most skin cysts are harmless, they can become painful, infected, or cosmetically undesirable, prompting individuals to seek medical treatment.
Causes of Skin Cyst
Skin cysts are typically caused by:
Skin Cyst Removal Surgery
Skin cysts are commonly removed through a minor surgical procedure. During the procedure:
- Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area.
- The cyst is carefully excised (removed), and any contents are cleared out.
- The skin is sutured to ensure proper healing.
Common Type of Skin Cysts
Epidermoid Cysts
The most common type of skin cyst, they form when the epidermis (outer skin layer) becomes trapped under the skin, causing a sac of keratin to build up.
These cysts often appear as small, round lumps on the skin, usually on the face, neck, or torso.
Pilar Cysts
Often referred to as trichilemmal cysts, these are similar to epidermoid cysts but typically form around hair follicles, especially on the scalp.
They are usually firm, smooth, and may vary in size.
Sebaceous Cysts
These cysts develop when the sebaceous glands, which produce oil to lubricate the skin, become blocked. They often get mistaken for epidermoid cysts.
Sebaceous cysts tend to be soft and may have a visible pore or opening at the surface.
Ganglion Cysts
A non-cancerous lump that forms near joints or tendons, often around the wrists or hands. While not strictly a skin cyst, it is a fluid-filled bump that forms under the skin.
They can be round or oval, and feel firm or rubbery to the touch.
Dermoid Cysts
These are congenital cysts that contain structures such as hair, skin, or even teeth. They are typically present at birth but may not be noticed until later in life.
They can vary in size and typically occur on the face, neck, or ovaries.

FAQ on skin cyst
Frequently Asked Questions
Most skin cysts are non-cancerous and do not pose a health risk. However, if a cyst becomes infected, inflamed, or ruptures, it can lead to discomfort or complications, requiring medical attention.
The procedure itself is generally not painful because local anesthesia is used to numb the area. After surgery, you may experience mild discomfort or swelling, which can usually be managed with pain relievers.
Recovery is typically fast, with most patients returning to normal activities immediately. However, full healing can take 1-2 weeks. It is essential to follow aftercare instructions to prevent infection and ensure proper healing.
While most cysts are completely removed, there is a small risk of recurrence. Following the aftercare instructions can help reduce the risk of recurrence.
