Cyst Removal
What is a cyst?
Cysts are slow growing, benign bumps which grow under the skin and can occur almost anywhere on the body. Although not life threatening, cysts can often be a cause of discomfort or embarrassment for people with visible facial cyst or skin cyst or arm cyst.
A skin cyst is a round, dome-shaped lump, either yellow or white and often with a small dark plug through which you might be able to squeeze out pus.
Cysts grow slowly and can range in size from smaller than a pea to a few centimetres across.
Skin cysts do not usually hurt, but can become tender, sore and red if they become infected.
Foul-smelling pus coming out of the cyst is another sign of infection.
How do we remove cysts at Persona?
Cysts are surgically removed under local anaesthetic via an incision to the skin to cut out and remove the cyst. The area will then be stitched and dressed and you will be required to return to the clinic to have the stitches removed 1-2 weeks later.
