What is a cyst?

A cyst feels like a lump or bump under the skin. The majority of cysts are sacs under the skin that fill up with skin cells and other skin products. This material is a white, cheesy substance which may have an odour.

A cyst can develop for a number of reasons. Sometimes, it is because a hair follicle gets blocked. More often, a cyst occurs because cells from the surface of the skin accidentally find themselves in the deeper layers of the skin. Here, they form a small balloon or sac. As the cells continue to exfoliate, the sac gets filled up with dead skin cells. With time the cyst can enlarge.

Other names for cysts are:

• Pilar cysts - these occur on the scalp

• Epidermoid cysts – these occur anywhere on the body

• Sebaceous cysts – these occur anywhere in the body

• Acne cysts – these occur in areas where there has been a lot of inflammation from acne. Acne cysts are not usually excised but treated with medical therapies.

Are cysts cancerous?

Cysts on the skin are not cancerous . Our doctors at Lotus Hospital Faridabad will send histological analysis of any tissue that is removed in order to fully establish that it is a cyst and nothing else. This is because some times other lumps and bumps under the skin, which could be cancerous, can mimic a cyst.

What happens during a cyst removal surgery?

A cyst is like a small balloon or sac under the skin. Successful cyst removal involves removal of the whole sac. This can be done safely under local anaesthetic. A small incision is made over the cyst and the balloon is “peeled” out from under the skin. The skin can then be stitched together to leave a small scar. Surgeons at Lotus Hospital, Faridabad make sure that scar is made as minimally obvious as possible. Stitches may be absorbable or they may be removed in 7 to 10 days after surgery. If the incision is very small (minimally invasive) then a stitch may not be required.

What is the aftercare and recovery following a cyst removal?

For stitched wounds, the wound will take 10-14 days to heal. We ask you to be generally restful through this period by avoiding heavy exercise or anything strenuous. People can usually return to an office job the next day. A splash proof dressing is applied so you can still have showers. Stitches may be removed in 7 to 10 days time.
