Cyst Removal

Cysts are common, benign (non-cancerous) lumps that can form anywhere on the body. They are typically filled with fluid, pus, or other material. While they are usually harmless, cysts can sometimes become uncomfortable, infected, or cosmetically bothersome.

​

Types of Cysts

The most common types of cysts include:

• Sebaceous (Epidermoid) Cysts
  These form from blocked hair follicles and usually contain a thick, oily substance.

• Pilar (Trichilemmal) Cysts
  Commonly found on the scalp, these cysts arise from hair follicles

​

Causes and Symptoms

Cysts can be caused by blocked glands, infections, or inflammation. They typically present as:

• Smooth, round lumps beneath the skin

• A central opening or “pore” (sometimes seen in sebaceous cysts)

• Possible tenderness, redness, or swelling if inflamed or infected

​

Treatment Options

While many cysts are harmless and don’t require treatment, removal may be recommended if:

• The cyst becomes painful, infected, or inflamed

• There is cosmetic concern

• The cyst grows or changes

At Dr. J. Kalyan Medical Aesthetics, we offer safe and effective  surgical removal of cysts under local anaesthetic. This ensures minimal discomfort and excellent aesthetic results. The procedure typically involves a small incision and complete excision of the cyst wall to prevent recurrence.
