A cyst is a closed sac that is formed anywhere inside the body i.e. in tissues, bones, or organs. When formed underneath the skin, it can feel like a kernel or little knot. It appears as a pocket filled with soft, liquid, or/and hard material like bacteria, pus, and/or dead skin cells. This may either begin as an ingrown hair or an infected acne pore.

Cysts are small sac-like pockets or closed capsules filled with semi-solid, liquid or gaseous material.  They are membranous tissues that can contain air and grow anywhere on your body.

They can be found on the skin anywhere in the body or even inside your body, like in the gastrointestinal tract.

Cysts can be found in variable sizes. Over time, they may become larger as more and more skin cells get trapped inside them. They are often painless, harmless, slow-growing, and movable skin lumps that can occasionally become tender and swollen. Most patients develop these benign cysts beneath the skin of the neck, face, scalp, and trunk areas.

What are the basic methods of cyst removal?

Once it is decided that you have a skin cyst that needs to be removed, the doctor can use several methods to remove that cyst.

Drainage: In this procedure, you will be given anesthesia. After that, an incision will be made in your body, near the location of the cyst. The cyst will then be drained through this incision. After the cyst is completely drained, the incision will be sealed and you will be allowed to go home.

Fine-Needle Aspiration: In this procedure, the doctor or surgeon will insert a fine needle in the cyst to drain it out. This procedure is generally conducted for breast cysts as they can recur. It is also used to conduct biopsies.

Surgery: In an open surgery, you will be given anesthesia. Once anesthesia starts working, a surgeon will make an incision on the location of the cyst. After the incision is made, the cyst will be removed from the body. This procedure usually leaves a scar on the body.

Laparoscopy: This procedure is usually used to remove ovarian cysts. During the procedure, a scalpel is used by a surgeon to make incisions. A laparoscope, a tube-like instrument with a camera at the end, is inserted inside the body through these incisions. This instrument is then used to locate the cyst inside the ovary and then remove it. This is a minimally invasive procedure and hence, it results in less scarring.
