Cyst Removal - Epi Dermatology & Laser Specialist Clinic

What is A Cyst?

A cyst is a closed pocket of tissue that contains pus, fluid, skin cells, or other materials. They can develop anywhere on the body, including the skin, organs, and soft tissues. Many cysts are harmless and do not necessitate treatment. Some may cause discomfort, become infected, or pose a cosmetic concern, necessitating cyst removal.

Reasons For Cyst Removal

Pain or discomfort: Cysts may cause pain or discomfort during physical activities
Cosmetic Reasons: Some others may choose to have cysts removed for cosmetic purposes if the cyst is visible and they find it bothersome.
Infection: In certain cases, cysts may become infected, leading to redness, swelling, and pus drainage.

Treatment Process

Cyst removal in Singapore generally involves a minor surgical procedure conducted under local anaesthesia.

The surgeon creates a small incision over the cyst to extract it entirely or drain its contents.
Following extraction, the area is cleaned and stitched up. It’s a quick procedure, typically completed within an hour, and the patient can usually return home the same day.
Post-operative care is relatively straightforward, generally involving keeping the site clean and dry, and a follow-up appointment to remove stitches and assess the healing
