What Is a Cyst?
A cyst is a sac-like pocket of tissue that can be filled with fluid, pus, or other material. Cysts may form from:
-
Clogged oil glands
-
Infections or inflammation
-
Ingrown hairs
-
Trauma to the skin
-
Genetic conditions
Most cysts are non-cancerous, but some can become painful, infected, or grow large enough to cause discomfort.

✅ The lump is growing or painful
✅ You’ve had a cyst return in the same area

FAQs
What are the treatment options for cysts?
Are cysts cancerous?
Treatments include drainage, injection, or surgical removal, depending on the cyst type and location.
Most cysts are benign and not cancerous, but it is important to have them evaluated.
Can I just pop it at home?
We strongly advise against it. DIY removal increases the risk of infection, scarring, and recurrence. Professional removal is safer and more effective.
Is cyst removal painful?
What causes cysts to form?
Cysts can develop due to infections, clogged sebaceous glands, or around foreign bodies.
Cyst removal is typically performed under local anesthesia, making it a minimally painful procedure.
