Treatment is usually quick. The doctor numbs the skin, opens the cyst through a small incision and presses out the contents.
Then the sac is carefully removed with forceps, so the cyst cannot fill up again in the same place.
Most people can go back to their normal routine the same day, as long as they keep the wound clean and avoid heavy strain on the arm for a few days.
A few stitches and a small dressing are often the only reminders, and after healing the skin usually looks almost untouched.
Do not let small problems slow you down; deal with them and keep moving forward. Watch the videos below to see cysts on the arm and body being removed.
