Cyst Excision

Cyst Excision Treatment – Safe & Effective Removal of Skin Cysts

Cysts are common, harmless lumps that can form anywhere on the skin. Although they are usually benign, they can become uncomfortable, infected, or cosmetically unappealing over time. At our advanced Skin, Hair & Aesthetic Clinic, we offer safe, precise, and scar-minimizing cyst excision procedures performed by experienced dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons.

Our goal is to remove cysts completely while maintaining the skin’s natural texture and appearance. With state-of-the-art techniques, sterile procedures, and personalized post-care, we ensure that every patient receives the highest level of dermatological care.

What is a Skin Cyst?

A cyst is a small, sac-like lump filled with fluid, semi-solid material, or keratin. It can occur on the face, neck, scalp, back, or other parts of the body. Cysts are generally non-cancerous but may cause irritation, infection, or inflammation if left untreated.

Common types of cysts include:

  • Epidermoid cysts: Formed from skin cells and commonly appear on the face, neck, or back.

  • Sebaceous cysts: Develop from oil glands and often appear on the scalp, face, or upper body.

  • Pilar cysts: Typically found on the scalp and run in families.

  • Dermoid cysts: Contain skin elements like hair or glands and can occur from birth.

While small cysts can sometimes be ignored, larger or infected ones often require professional excision for complete removal and to prevent recurrence.

Why Choose Cyst Excision Instead of Home Remedies?

Many people try squeezing or draining cysts at home, but this can lead to:

  • Infection and pus formation

  • Scarring or skin damage

  • Incomplete removal, causing recurrence

  • Spread of inflammation to nearby tissues

A professional cyst excision ensures that the entire cyst wall and contents are removed under sterile conditions, greatly reducing the chance of recurrence and leaving minimal scarring.

Our Expertise in Cyst Removal

At our clinic, cyst excision is carried out by qualified dermatologists with extensive experience in skin surgery. Every procedure is performed with precision, safety, and aesthetic balance in mind.

We use modern surgical techniques, including:

  • Minimal Incision Excision: A small incision is made to extract the cyst without large cuts.

  • Punch Excision: A circular surgical tool removes the cyst and capsule precisely.

  • Laser-Assisted Excision: For certain cysts, laser technology helps reduce bleeding and improve healing.

Our specialists focus on minimizing scars and ensuring smooth skin recovery.

Cyst Excision Procedure – Step by Step

  1. Consultation & Diagnosis:
    The dermatologist examines the cyst’s type, size, and depth. Sometimes, imaging or biopsy may be done to rule out other conditions.

  2. Preparation:
    The area is cleaned and sterilized. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure a completely pain-free experience.

  3. Cyst Removal:
    A small incision is made over the cyst. The entire cyst, including its capsule, is carefully removed to prevent recurrence.

  4. Closure & Dressing:
    The wound is closed using fine sutures, ensuring minimal scarring. A sterile dressing is applied to protect the area.

  5. Aftercare & Follow-Up:
    You’ll receive post-procedure instructions, including wound care, medication, and a follow-up schedule for suture removal.

The entire process typically takes 20–45 minutes, depending on the cyst’s size and location.

Post-Procedure Care

After cyst excision, proper care is essential for smooth healing.
Our doctors provide personalized aftercare instructions, which may include:

  • Keeping the area clean and dry

  • Avoiding pressure or friction on the treated site

  • Using prescribed antibiotic creams or pain relief medication

  • Attending follow-up visits for suture removal (usually within 7–10 days)

Most patients return to normal activities the same day or within 24 hours. Scars usually fade over time and can be further improved with laser or topical treatments if needed.
