Cyst Removal in Brooklyn, NY & Upper East Side, NY

Cysts are fluid-filled or solid bumps that form beneath the skin, often due to infected hair follicles or blocked sebaceous glands. They are not harmful but can recur if not completely removed and sometimes become painful or inflamed. If you notice a cyst that resembles a large pimple and persists or becomes painful, seeking treatment is a good idea. Commonly appearing on the neck, back, face, or behind the ears, cysts can vary in size and may occasionally require medical attention to prevent complications.

Treatment at Kleydman Dermatology

Cyst removal should be performed by a healthcare professional to avoid complications like infection. At Kleydman Dermatology in Brooklyn, NY & Upper East Side, NY, the typical procedure for removing a cyst involves surgical excision. This procedure begins with local anesthesia to minimize discomfort, followed by a small incision made over or near the cyst. The contents of the cyst, which may include fluid or semi-solid substances, are carefully extracted. If necessary, surrounding affected tissues may also be removed to prevent recurrence.

The site is then cleaned and closed up, sometimes leaving a small scar that can fade over time. Ensuring complete removal is crucial; any remnants can lead to the cyst's return.
