A cyst is a closed sac of tissue that can fill with fluid, air, pus, or other material. Cyst removal is one way to treat it when needed. Cysts can form almost anywhere in the body, but they're especially common on the skin, where they appear as small lumps beneath the surface. Most cysts are benign, meaning not cancerous, though some are removed to confirm that.
Treatment depends on the type of cyst, its size, and whether it causes problems. Options range from leaving it alone to draining it or removing it surgically. A clinician may inject a steroid to reduce inflammation, drain a swollen cyst, prescribe antibiotics for an infected one, or recommend full surgical removal. Squeezing or popping a cyst at home can cause infection, and it is best to avoid doing so.
During cyst removal, a clinician numbs the area with a local anesthetic and makes a small incision to take out the entire sac, including its wall. Removing the entire sac reduces the risk of the cyst returning. The procedure is usually quick and done in an office setting, and the wound is closed with stitches. The tissue may be sent to a lab to confirm the diagnosis.
Many cysts do not need to be removed. If a cyst is small, painless, and not causing problems, a clinician may simply monitor it. Removal is considered when a cyst becomes painful, infected, continues to grow, gets in the way, or needs to be checked for other conditions. An unusual-looking cyst may be removed and tested.
A cyst can come back if part of its sac wall is left behind. Complete surgical excision, which takes out the entire sac, gives the lowest chance of recurrence. Draining a cyst without removing the wall relieves pressure but often allows it to refill over time. Following the clinician's aftercare instructions also supports healing and lowers the risk of infection.
The right professional will examine the cyst, explain your options, and remove it if needed. Use Zocdoc to find cyst removal near you and book a visit based on your insurance and availability.
