What is a Cyst?

A cyst is a closed, sac-like pocket of tissue that can form anywhere in the body. It usually contains fluid, pus, air, or other material.

Cyst Removal

Can cysts go away on their own?

Yes, many cysts do disappear over time without treatment.

Small skin (sebaceous or epidermoid) cysts: Sometimes shrink or rupture naturally if the blocked gland clears

Ovarian cysts (functional): These are common in women of reproductive age and often disappear within a few menstrual cycles

Ganglion cysts: May reduce in size or go away over time, especially if the joint is rested

Cysts that usually need treatment

Infected cysts: These can become red, swollen, and painful, requiring drainage or antibiotics.

Large or persistent cysts: If they cause discomfort, press on other structures, or keep returning, a doctor may need to remove them.

Cysts associated with underlying conditions: Such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or genetic disorders, which usually need ongoing care.

Frequently Asked Questions

A cyst is a non-cancerous, fluid-filled lump that develops beneath the skin, often caused by blocked hair follicles, oil glands, or sweat glands. They are usually harmless but can become uncomfortable, infected, or unsightly if left untreated.

At Chequers Health, we specialise in the removal of epidermoid cysts, which are common skin cysts that can appear on the face, neck, back, and other parts of the body.

No, the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring a painless experience. Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the treatment.

Our consultant uses advanced surgical techniques to remove the entire cyst sac. This approach significantly reduces the risk of recurrence and helps achieve smooth, lasting results.

We use specialised methods designed to minimise scarring and preserve the natural appearance of your skin. Any scarring that does occur is typically very small and fades over time.

Cyst removal is a quick and efficient procedure. Most treatments are completed within a short appointment, allowing you to return to your normal activities the same day.

There is minimal downtime following cyst removal. Patients can usually resume their daily routine immediately, though you may be advised to keep the area clean and avoid strenuous activity for a short period.

We offer comprehensive aftercare to ensure a smooth recovery. Our consultant will provide tailored instructions to help the treated area heal properly and reduce any risk of infection.

All cyst removals at Chequers Health are performed by a skilled consultant with experience in minor surgical procedures and skin health.
