Sebaceous Cyst Removal

A sebaceous cyst is a common skin condition that forms when a sebaceous gland becomes blocked, causing a small lump under the skin. These cysts are usually non-cancerous but can be uncomfortable, unsightly, or even painful if they become infected. At AMVI Clinic, we offer professional and effective sebaceous cyst removal procedures tailored to your needs, ensuring safe and smooth results.

What Is a Sebaceous Cyst?

• Formation: Sebaceous cysts develop when the sebaceous gland or hair follicle gets blocked with excess oil, dead skin cells, or keratin.
• Appearance: They are typically smooth, round lumps filled with a thick, yellowish substance. These cysts vary in size from small to large and can sometimes rupture, releasing pus.
• Common Locations: They can appear anywhere on the body, but most commonly on the face, scalp, back, or neck.
• Symptoms: Generally painless, but can become inflamed, red, or tender if infected.
  
  

Why You Should Consider Sebaceous Cyst Removal

While most sebaceous cysts are harmless, there are several reasons to consider removal:

• Infection Prevention: A cyst can become infected, causing pain, redness, and swelling.
• Improved Appearance: Cysts, especially larger ones, can be unsightly and affect your confidence.
• Avoid Recurrence: If a cyst is not completely removed, it may reappear in the same spot.
• Comfort: Large cysts may cause discomfort, especially if located in areas prone to friction or pressure.

Sebaceous Cyst Removal Procedures at AMVI Clinic

At AMVI Clinic, we offer various methods for cyst removal, ensuring the best solution based on the size, location, and condition of your cyst.

Surgical Excision

• Procedure: The cyst and its sac are completely removed through a small incision, ensuring it doesn’t grow back. This is the most effective and long-lasting method.
• Post-Procedure Care: You may need stitches and will be given aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.

Minimally Invasive Methods

• Punch Excision: A small circular tool is used to remove the cyst with minimal scarring.
• Laser Treatment: For smaller cysts, a laser may be used to excise the cyst, reducing downtime and promoting quicker recovery.
