What is a Skin Cyst?

A skin cyst is a closed sac-like bump that forms beneath the skin. It may contain fluid, pus, or semi-solid material. These cysts are typically non-cancerous and slow-growing but can become painful, inflamed, or cosmetically concerning if not treated.

Why is Cyst Removal Important?

Although many cysts are harmless, removal becomes necessary when:

• They become painful or swollen

• They get infected and start discharging pus

• There is a noticeable increase in size

• They affect appearance or confidence

• There is a risk of rupture, scarring, or recurrence

Consulting a qualified dermatologist ensures early diagnosis and the most suitable treatment plan.

Common Causes of Skin Cysts

• Blockage of sebaceous (oil) glands

• Ingrown hair or acne

• Skin trauma or repeated friction

• Infections beneath the skin

• Genetic predisposition (like pilar or epidermoid cysts)

• Hormonal changes or poor hygiene
