Once the skin is numb, the doctor can drain the cyst through a tiny opening, releasing the pressure that has been building up for weeks.
If needed, the remaining sac is removed through the same small opening, so the cyst has much less chance of coming back.
Facial skin heals quickly because it has a good blood supply. With proper care, the mark left behind usually fades within a few weeks.
Keeping the area clean, avoiding make-up on the wound for a few days and using sunscreen afterwards all help the skin recover beautifully.
Be brave today and tomorrow will feel lighter. The videos below show cysts on the face and jaw being treated by professionals.
