Surgical Dermatology

Cyst removal is a minor surgical procedure used to excise or drain cysts that have formed on the skin. Cysts can vary in size and type, and they often develop due to blockages in hair follicles or sebaceous glands. Common types of cysts treated include epidermoid cysts, sebaceous cysts, and pilar cysts.

While most cysts are non-cancerous, they can become painful, infected, or grow in a way that affects appearance. Our dermatologists perform cyst removals with precision to eliminate the cyst and reduce the chance of recurrence.

Benefits of Cyst Removal

• Eliminate Discomfort: Removes cysts that cause pain, irritation, or inflammation.
• Prevent Infection: Reduces the risk of cysts becoming infected or abscessed.
• Improve Appearance: Clears away cysts that may be causing unsightly lumps or bumps on the skin.
• Minimize Scarring: We use advanced techniques to minimize scarring during and after the procedure.
• Safe and Effective: Cyst removal is a routine, low-risk procedure with a high success rate.

Who Needs Cyst Removal?

Cyst removal is recommended for individuals who experience any of the following:

• Painful or Inflamed Cysts: If the cyst is causing pain or discomfort.
• Infected Cysts: If the cyst becomes infected or forms an abscess.
• Large or Growing Cysts: When a cyst grows to a size that’s difficult to manage or affects appearance.
• Cosmetic Concerns: If you wish to remove a cyst for aesthetic reasons, especially if it’s located on visible areas like the face, neck, or back.

What to Expect During a Cyst Removal Procedure

1. Consultation: During your consultation, our dermatologists will assess the cyst, determine whether removal is necessary, and discuss the most appropriate treatment for you.
2. Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you remain comfortable and pain-free.
3. Cyst Removal: The cyst is carefully excised or drained, with the surrounding tissue being preserved. In some cases, the cyst wall may also be removed to minimize the chance of recurrence.
4. Post-Procedure Care: After the procedure, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize any potential complications.

What is Skin Cancer Excision?

Skin cancer excision is a surgical procedure used to remove skin cancer lesions from the skin. The procedure is performed by a board-certified dermatologist, who carefully excises the cancerous tissue along with a margin of healthy skin to ensure that all abnormal cells are removed. This technique is often used for non-melanoma skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), but can also be used for melanoma in certain cases.

The excised tissue is typically sent to a lab for further analysis to confirm that all cancerous cells have been removed.

Benefits of Skin Cancer Excision

• Effective Cancer Removal: Ensures complete removal of cancerous tissue with minimal risk of recurrence.
• Precision: Performed with the highest level of precision to preserve healthy surrounding tissue.
• Minimized Scarring: We use advanced techniques to minimize scarring and promote optimal healing.
• Quick Recovery: Skin cancer excision is typically an outpatient procedure with a relatively short recovery time.
• Peace of Mind: Provides confidence knowing the cancer has been thoroughly removed and further treatment is not needed.

Who Needs Skin Cancer Excision?

Skin cancer excision is typically recommended for individuals diagnosed with skin cancers, including:

• Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): The most common form of skin cancer, often appearing as a small, pearly bump on sun-exposed areas of the skin.
• Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC): Often appears as a red, scaly patch or growth, usually in areas exposed to the sun.
• Melanoma: A more aggressive form of skin cancer that typically appears as an irregularly shaped mole or a change in an existing mole’s size, shape, or color.

If you have any of these concerns or have been advised by a healthcare provider to have a skin lesion removed, skin cancer excision can provide the definitive treatment needed.
