Why Patients Choose Cyst Removal

What is a cyst?

A cyst is a closed sac beneath the skin that may contain fluid, keratin, or other material. They can develop anywhere on the body and may remain stable or gradually increase in size.

Cysts are common skin conditions that can vary in size, location, and symptoms. While many are harmless, some may become inflamed, infected, or cosmetically concerning.

Common types treated include:

Some cysts remain painless, while others may:

  • Become inflamed or tender
  • Rupture or discharge
  • Increase in size over time
