About Cysts

Sebaceous cysts are common, non-cancerous lumps that typically develop on the face, neck, or torso when sebaceous glands become blocked. These cysts appear as small, round bumps under the skin, varying in size and often feeling soft or firm. They usually grow slowly and are painless, but can sometimes discharge a greyish-white, foul-smelling material.

We offer safe and precise removal of sebaceous cysts, tailored to your individual needs. Our approach focuses on careful removal with the best possible aesthetic results. During your personalised consultation, we’ll evaluate the cyst and determine the most suitable removal method, ensuring your safety and satisfaction.

Cyst Treatment Options

We provide a range of treatment options for sebaceous cysts, tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Our approach ensures both symptom relief and attention to cosmetic concerns.

  • Observation

    For small, symptom-free cysts, we may recommend monitoring for any changes rather than immediate treatment.

  • Incision and Drainage

    This procedure offers quick relief for painful, swollen cysts by draining the contents. However, as the cyst sac remains, there's a higher chance of recurrence.

  • Surgical Excision

    For a more permanent solution, the entire cyst, including its sac, is surgically removed, greatly reducing the likelihood of recurrence. This is performed under local anaesthesia.

  • Antibiotics

    If the cyst is infected, antibiotics may be prescribed to treat the infection, although this won’t remove the cyst itself.

We ensure patients are fully informed and involved in choosing the best treatment option, taking into account factors like the cyst’s size, location, and the patient’s preferences. We also provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to support proper healing and patient satisfaction.

FAQ: Cyst Removal

Sebaceous cysts are generally benign. However, any changes in size, colour, or pain should be checked by a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.
