A dermatologist can tell quickly whether the cyst needs to be drained, removed or simply watched. Each choice depends on its size, its depth and whether it is infected.
When the cyst is removed, the doctor makes a small opening and gently presses out the contents before lifting out the thin wall of the sac.
Removing the sac is the important part. If even a small piece is left behind, the cyst can slowly fill up again months later.
After treatment, small daily habits matter most: changing the dressing, washing gently and letting the skin rest while it heals.
Small steps add up to big results. Scroll down to the videos to see how cysts like this one are treated from start to finish.
