Cyst Removal
Safe & Complete Removal of Skin Cysts at Varsity Clinic
Cysts are fluid-filled, sac-like growths that can appear under the skin due to blocked glands, infections, or internal buildup of keratin. While most are benign, they may become infected, painful, or cosmetically concerning. At Varsity Clinic, we offer minor surgical cyst removal using sterile, scar-minimizing techniques—ensuring the cyst is fully excised, not just drained, to prevent recurrence.
Cyst removal is a simple outpatient procedure but must be done by a qualified medical professional to avoid scarring, infection, or incomplete removal.
What Are Skin Cysts?
Common types of cysts that appear on the skin include:
- Epidermoid cysts (sebaceous cysts): Soft, slow-growing, and commonly found on the face, back, or scalp
- Pilar cysts: Typically found on the scalp, firm and painless
- Milia: Small white cysts usually found on the face (especially under the eyes)
- Infected or ruptured cysts: May become red, swollen, and painful
Cysts may result from blocked hair follicles, oil glands, trauma, or spontaneous formation. While not dangerous, they can become uncomfortable or aesthetically undesirable.
