Common Reasons People Choose to Have a Cyst Removed

Our cyst removal surgery in Jacksonville is performed using local anesthesia in an outpatient surgical procedure. This creates the safest and most effective environment for cyst removal.

According to Medical News Today, skin cysts affect at least 20% of adults in the U.S. Cysts are noncancerous sacs filled with skin cells that typically do not cause problems. While they are usually not painful or tender, they can become damaged, inflamed, or infected. Infections can occur if the cyst bursts.

Where do I start?! I spent some time calling around and looking for a new Dermatologist after a really bad experience with another Doctor. I called Jacksonville Dermatology and Cosmetic and the woman who answered the phone was so welcoming that I just knew I had found our new Dermatologist! I was able to be seen a few days later with Dr. Stepien. She and her staff took great care of me. She found Squamous Cell Carcinoma on my shoulder and performed surgery on my shoulder. Dr. Stepien was very professional and warm and welcoming. The office offers many advanced derma-logical and cosmetic options and all are cutting edge! My husband went in today and he was thrilled. We both highly recommend this practice!Thanks so much!Manny Altman

While most cysts do not require treatment, many people remove them. At Jacksonville Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, we provide comprehensive dermatologic and cosmetic services. Our cyst removal surgery in Jacksonville is performed using local anesthesia in an outpatient surgical procedure, creating the safest and most effective environment for cyst removal.

Types of Cysts

The most common types of cysts include:

  • Epidermal Cysts – Epidermal cysts are the most common type of cysts. They typically have a punctum or dilate pore and are more common on the chest, back, arms, and legs.
  • Pilar Cysts – Pilar cysts are the most common type of scalp cyst. They can be isolated lesions, but for some patients, they can form numerous pilar cysts on the scalp.
  • Sebaceous Cysts – While many are called sebaceous cysts, sebaceous cysts are a rarer form of cyst. They form from sebaceous glands and typically occur in areas with an increased density of sebaceous glands, such as the face.
  • Dermoid Cysts – These typically appear in early childhood and can increase in size. The most common location is along the temple.

Reasons for Cyst Removal

When cysts grow or enlarge, they can cause pain and discomfort. Cysts can also become inflamed and become painful. But people have them removed for many reasons. Some of these reasons include:

  • You do not like how the cyst looks
  • The cyst keeps getting swollen, red and inflamed
  • It has grown and has become very obvious and prominent
  • The cyst is catching and rubbing – for example, when you brush your hair or wear certain clothes
  • It keeps you from shaving comfortably
  • The cyst is an awkward or sensitive area
  • The cyst keeps getting swollen, red and inflamed
  • It is growing
  • It is tender to touch
  • The cyst is itchy
  • It has ruptured
  • The cyst is leaking, oozing, and draining on its own
  • An abscess has formed around the cyst
