A skin cyst is a non-cancerous, closed sac-like pocket of tissue that can form just beneath the skin. It is typically filled with fluid, pus, or other material like keratin (a protein). While usually harmless, cysts can become inflamed, infected, or aesthetically bothersome.
These form from sebaceous glands, which produce oil (sebum) for the skin and hair. Blockage can lead to cyst formation.
Ganglion cysts are non-cancerous, fluid-filled lumps (containing thick, jelly-like fluid) that develop along tendons or joints.
The most common type, filled with keratin, often found on the face, neck, and torso.
Form from hair follicles and are most commonly found on the scalp. They are firm and filled with keratin.
Typically occurring near the tailbone at the top of the buttock cleft, often containing hair and skin debris.
While many cysts are benign, professional evaluation and treatment are recommended if you notice any of these concerning signs or symptoms:
The cyst becomes tender, painful, or causes ongoing irritation, especially in areas that experience friction from clothing or movement.
The area becomes red, swollen, warm to the touch, or starts leaking pus. Fever may also accompany these symptoms.
The cyst grows quickly over a short period, changes in texture or color, or develops an irregular shape that concerns you.
The cyst is in a visible area affecting your confidence, or its location interferes with daily activities and quality of life.
Our experienced dermatologists provide comprehensive cyst evaluation and removal services using the latest minimally invasive techniques for optimal results.
Schedule Your ConsultationOur GMC registered doctors will thoroughly assess your cyst and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach based on your individual needs, cyst type, size, and location.
For small, asymptomatic cysts that don't cause discomfort, careful monitoring may be the most appropriate approach.
For inflamed or infected cysts, a small incision is made to drain contents and provide immediate relief from pressure and discomfort.
The gold-standard treatment to prevent recurrence, where the entire cyst sac is surgically removed under local anaesthetic in a sterile environment.
Attempting to squeeze or remove a cyst yourself can lead to serious complications including infection, deeper inflammation, permanent scarring, and incomplete removal leading to recurrence. Our experienced doctors perform all procedures in a sterile clinical environment with proper surgical techniques.

Find clear answers to common questions about cyst diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
While there are typical characteristics (lipomas are often softer and more mobile, cysts can be firmer), a definitive diagnosis requires professional examination. The doctor will assess the growth during your consultation.
It’s very unlikely. Cysts might occasionally drain but usually persist. Professional removal is the definitive treatment if the growth is bothersome.
The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the removal. You may feel the initial small injection. Post-procedure discomfort is typically mild and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief like paracetamol.
The doctor uses meticulous Treatments techniques, placing incisions carefully (often in natural skin creases) and using fine sutures to minimise scarring. While any incision leaves a mark, most scars heal very well and fade significantly over 6-12 months. Scar care advice is provided.
Recurrence of the *same* cyst is rare when completely removed by an experienced Doctor (especially ensuring the entire cyst wall is removed). However, new, unrelated cysts can form elsewhere on the body over time.
Recovery depends on size and location. Many patients resume light activities immediately. More strenuous activities might be restricted for a short period. Initial wound healing takes 1-2 weeks. The doctor will provide specific guidance.
Yes, often multiple growths can be removed during the same procedure, depending on their number, size, location, and the estimated procedure time. This can be more convenient and cost-effective. Suitability will be assessed during your consultation.
Costs vary based on the size, location, number, and complexity of the growths. Please refer to the pricing guide above for indicative costs. A definitive, all-inclusive quote will be provided after your £95 consultation.
