Cysts commonly develop from a blocked pore or oil gland and appear as a bump underneath the skin.
A capsule or outer shell develops over time which walls off the cyst from surrounding tissues. Elective excision must involve removal of the capsule to lower risk of recurrence.
These types of cysts are commonly referred to as sebaceous or epidermal cysts.
Unless a sebaceous cyst is inflamed (red and painful), drainage is not performed since the cyst will recur unless the capsule is also removed.
If you have a ganglion cyst (a different type of cyst that commonly develops around joints -- e.g. wrist, top of foot, finger joints) or pilonidal cyst (around the buttocks or tailbone region), please do not book elective removal through this site.
