Sebaceous Cyst Treatment

A sebaceous cyst is a small, non-cancerous lump beneath the skin, typically filled with keratin or oily material. These cysts can occur anywhere but are most common on the face, neck, scalp, and trunk. While usually harmless, they can become painful, swollen, or infected, especially if left untreated.

Our treatment approach focuses on safe, sterile removal of the cyst — including its sac — to prevent recurrence and infection. Depending on the cyst’s condition, we may offer drainage or complete surgical excision under local anesthesia.

We aim for a quick, clean procedure with minimal scarring and a fast return to daily routine.

Accurate Diagnosis & Skin Evaluation

We confirm the cyst type and rule out other skin conditions to recommend the right treatment.

Painless, Outpatient Removal

Most cysts can be removed in a short, minor procedure under local anesthesia with no hospital stay.

Minimal Scarring & Skin Impact

We use clean cosmetic closure techniques to ensure minimal marks and fast healing.

Prevention of Infection & Inflammation

Early treatment prevents the cyst from getting infected, inflamed, or bursting.

Complete Removal to Avoid Recurrence

We remove both the cyst and its sac to reduce the risk of it coming back.

Quick Recovery & Same-Day Discharge

Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours after the procedure.

Everything You Need to Know About Sebaceous Cyst Treatment

Q1. What causes sebaceous cysts?

They usually form when sebaceous glands are blocked due to trauma, swelling, or a ruptured hair follicle.

Most are harmless, but if infected or growing, they can become painful and require medical removal.

Sometimes small cysts shrink, but most persist or become larger over time. Definitive treatment is surgical removal.

No, the procedure is done under local anesthesia and involves minimal discomfort.

If the entire sac is removed properly, recurrence is rare. Incomplete removal may lead to regrowth.

Your Comfort, Our Priority

Since the procedure is precise and minimally invasive, the chances of infection are significantly lower.
