Do you feel uncomfortable by the tenderness or discomfort of a skin lesion called a cyst? If these blemishes do not disappear on their own, they can be treated with a simple localized surgical excision. Dr. Steve Musick, and his team of highly skilled dermatology professionals are here to help you.
What Are Cysts?
Cysts which are usually localized lesions that can appear anywhere on the body. Cysts may appear as a raised bump under the skin. Most cysts are benign (non-cancerous) and should be treated by a skincare professional. There is no commonality in size as they can remain small or grow larger over time.
Cysts are usually not painful and do not cause a problem unless they are very large, growing in a sensitive area, become infected or rupture under the skin.
Treatment Of Cysts
Do not attempt to treat your cysts by squeezing or draining it yourself. This can cause the cyst to rupture and become painful or inflamed.
