At Contour Dermatology, stubborn sacs and cysts are commonly treated through safe and effective removal procedures. Cysts, often filled with fluid or semi-solid material, can appear on various parts of the body and range in size. While most cysts are benign, they can be unsightly or cause discomfort, prompting many patients to seek removal.
Sebaceous cysts, epidermoid cysts, and pilar cysts are some of the most common types that patients come across. These cysts are usually harmless but can become painful if infected, inflamed, or left untreated. The growth may also become bothersome if located in visible areas or areas prone to friction.
At Contour Dermatology, dermatologists specialize in identifying and treating cysts and sacs. During your consultation, the dermatologist will assess the cyst’s condition, discuss symptoms, and determine the best treatment approach. In many cases, simple in-office procedures are used to remove the cyst, which involves local anesthesia to ensure a painless experience.
Cyst removal is often a quick and straightforward procedure, usually requiring less than an hour. After the cyst is removed, the area is carefully cleaned and dressed. Sutures may be necessary, but patients can typically resume their daily activities shortly after the procedure.
Proper aftercare is crucial to avoid complications like infection or scarring. The dermatology team at Contour Dermatology will provide clear instructions on how to care for the site as it heals. Following these guidelines ensures a smooth recovery and helps reduce the likelihood of cyst recurrence.
For those suffering from persistent or bothersome cysts, Contour Dermatology offers reliable solutions to restore clear and healthy skin.
