Cyst Removal

Cysts are closed pockets of tissue that can be filled with fluid, pus, or other material. Common types include:

• Sebaceous cysts: Formed from blocked sebaceous glands. Treatment involves drainage or surgical removal if they become infected.
• Pilar cysts: Often found on the scalp, these cysts are usually harmless and can be surgically removed if desired.
• Ganglion cysts: Typically appear on the wrist or hand. These may resolve on their own, but if bothersome, aspiration or surgical removal may be warranted.
