What Is a Cyst?
A cyst is a common, usually harmless lump beneath the skin. It may contain fluid, keratin, or other material and can appear anywhere on the body. Many cysts are painless, but some can become inflamed, infected, or cosmetically bothersome.
You may consider cyst removal if your cyst:
- Is growing in size
- Becomes painful or inflamed
- Repeatedly becomes infected
- Rubs against clothing
- Affects confidence or appearance
- Causes uncertainty about skin health
Our experienced clinicians will assess the cyst carefully and advise whether removal is appropriate.
